Super livre d'exercices (niveau lycée) !

Absolutely packed with the best presentation of pre-algebraic and algebraic concepts I have ever seen.
This book (and most likely the entire series) is fantastic. Concepts are explained fully and in the logical ordering necessary to build upon one another. Furthermore, mathematical properties (e.g. the fact that raising a non-zero number to the zeroth power is one, the divisibility shortcuts for some numbers, etc.) Are never hand-waived; the logic and proof of each concept is demonstrated. The lessons are rather dense, and the problems require more thought than the average math textbook's practice sets, but I feel that this actually makes the problems more engaging and less tedious. Do not be fooled by the "lower" page count. This book is absolutely worth it. A friend of mine, who recommended the series, was worried that her homeschooled child would be unable to pass standardized tests with just this course of study. I argued that her brilliant child didn't need to be stifled by a "standard" curriculum, and that she should instead supplement The Art of Problem Solving with instruction specifically aimed at test-taking strategies for standardized math tests. The knowledge expressed in The Art of Problem Solving is TRUE mathematics, and is more valuable than the goal of high marks on the SAT.

Fun workbook! This is more than just knowing algebra
Fun workbook! This is more than just knowing algebra. You actually need to spin your brain at full capacity. There's a separate book manual/answer key for this so it shouldn't get too frustrating. This is definitely a fun exercise for my brain and I didn't even like math ever in my life!
