With College Algebra Demystified, you master the subject one simple step at a time—at your own speed. Unlike most books on college algebra, general concepts are presented first—and the details follow. In order to make the process as clear and simple as possible, long computations are presented in a logical, layered progression with just one execution per step.

As the math education crisis in this country continues to make headlines, research continues to prove that it is in middle school when math scores begin to drop—especially for girls—in large part due to the relentless social conditioning that tells girls they “can’t do” math, and that math is “uncool.” Young girls today need strong female role models to embrace the idea that it’s okay to be smart—in fact, it’s sexy to be smart!

This handy guide, with free access to online practice problems, gives you 1,001 opportunities to practice solving problems that you'll encounter in your Algebra I course. You start with some basic operations, move on to algebraic properties, polynomials, and quadratic equations, and finish up with graphing. Solving problems online, you'll track your progress, see where you need more help, and create customized problem sets to get you where you need to be. Every practice question includes not only a solution but a step-by-step explanation.

This new title in Barron's E-Z Series covers the following topics: Linear Functions, Absolute Value Functions, Polynomial Operations, Quadratic Functions, Complex Numbers, Functions and Relations, Polynomial Functions, Radicals, Rational Functions, Exponential Functions, Logarithmic Functions, Series and Sequences, and Statistics and Modeling. Review exercises are at the end of each chapter.

These books are written for students who find the subjects unusually difficult and confusing--or in many cases, just plain boring. Barron's Painless Series authors' main goal is to clear up students' confusion and perk up their interest by emphasizing the intriguing and often exciting ways in which they can put each subject to practical use. Most of these books take a light-hearted approach to their subjects, often employing humor, and always presenting fun-learning exercises that include puzzles, games, and challenging "Brain Tickler" problems to solve. This title defines algebraic terms, shows how to avoid pitfalls in calculation, presents painless methods for understanding and graphing equations, and makes problem-solving fun.
