Schaum's Outline of College Algebra, 4th Edition (Schaum's Outlines)

I am using these Schaum Outlines to regain mastery of my fundamental mathematic skills as a prelude to studying actuary science. And, until I can afford to go back to college, I'm on my own.I'm still working my way through this outline. However, it's worth the effort. I love the fact that this book shows the general format of the equation, and it works through the format to demonstrate how to solve the problem. It's tough sledding, but it is so easy with this text. My only complain is that Schaum's advertise that you may have access to a series of supplementary videos that offer additional instruction. When you go to the website, you just get advertisements for more McGraw-Hill Educational products. However, I'm getting what I need from YouTube.com.

I have used Schaum's outlines for quite a few years. I may be biased toward an old-school, just-the-facts kind of presentation. I have used other types of math books, with cartoons and colors, but I didn't find that they were necessarily better in explaining concepts and taking me through the details. I have just started using the 4th edition of Schaum's College Algebra. It is largely unchanged from previous editions, which I also used for review and new learning in the recent and distant past. I have started a Notes and Errata page on my website, for any glitches that I happen to find. As far as I can tell, not much has changed: reviews from previous editions should largely apply to the 4th ed. Note that I am using the printed version. I did buy a Kindle version of the third edition at one point, but was quite dissatisfied: the words and symbols did not translate well, or were poorly typeset.

The book is a great source of information. It is not the answer all, but it is good. On some items (problems) it gets a little fuzzy on how they came to that answer on some problems, but must are pretty good and understandable. I wish this book was a little more clear on the formulas out come when doing certain problems. Just my opinion. all in all a 4 Star book for me.

I took College Algebra many years ago and wanted to sharpen my algebra skills. I feel ready. Concise explanations and good example problems. Plenty of additional exercises if you want more practice. I will review more math classes with Schaum's.

Schaum's outline of college algebra has been great in giving me a broader perspective on the algebra side of my precalculus class. it goes into great detail in the worked out problems. I have used Shaum's for two other courses and I love them!

The kindle edition doesn’t align problems and their solutions correctly. It is very frustrating.

This was the perfect book for my Algebra review in pursuit of starting to study Number Theory! Thank you, it was easy to use and I able to hit the ground running.

excellent I am taking an electronics course and I have not done any Trig.for at least forty years I wrote my A/c examination and I recieved 82 percent so it definitely worked!!!!!!

Very clear and to the point. Highly recommend it.

Excellent book. Highly recommended for beginners.

Very useful to review my college algebra

OK thx.
