Intermediate Algebra by Mark Dugopolski (2004, Book, Illustrated)

This textbook is very helpful and teaches you many ways of solving problems, equations, graphs, functions, exponents, polynomials, radicals, rational exponents, etc. that you haven't really learned before. Unlike most high school teachers, they don't teach you this way. In this textbook, you will learn most of the easy ways of solving difficult problems. This is the right textbook to start learning the basic algebra.

I bought the textbook because of a college class. I just had it for a month and it looks great with a lot of information. The textbook is comprehensible and explains it wright. I like the book, eventhough it has a lot of information and it's kind of heavy.

Like all other text books students are forced to buy, this one is a vastly overpriced piece of junk. No college professor should be allowed to require any book he has written or worked on to be required for his or any other class. That would put an end to this freaking robbery.
