Introduction to Algebra (Art of Problem Solving Introduction)

did not receive the solutions manual which shows in the pictures and the details of the book. Unhappy with the purchase.

It’s fast delivery and good service, the book is new and useful for the children.

Truthfully, am not sure I'm rating the individual book or the overall series and the AoPS online resources (see: http://www.artofproblemsolving.com ). From our viewpoint, AoPS supporting online videos and Alcumus problems beats out Khan Academy (yes, we used that for awhile but found it somewhat encumber some and well, boring.) If one is a person that is math oriented, this is the series for you. After a LOT of research looking at the various math approaches (Saxon, Singapore Fred, Math-U-See, Video Text Math, the list goes on...) and reading the various reviews found through internet-land, this is the curriculum I chose for my 8th grader who innately "gets" math. He can first try to solve the problems, going straight to the "meat and potatoes". THEN, if he answers the questions incorrectly, he can re-read the book, The material is presented straightforward, nice and clean - meaning there are no distracting graphics and side bar comments to clutter up what is being presented...some of the resource I reviewed were SO BUSY that is was hard to focus the eye and absorb the concepts. The only thing I would have liked to incorporate was a glossary in the back of key terms. Would come in handy to quiz yourself. Hands down the best resource out there for upper middle school aged people and above.

The book is great, but just be careful there is only ONE book you are paying for even it shows 2 in the pic. Ao if you need the solutions as well, make sure you go with the set.

It's very helpful to my kid.

This book is really good but there is no solution manual with it be careful when buying it shows that it should be in it but it is not.
