I had been out of school for 10 years when I enrolled into a College Algebra course that used this book. If it would have not been for this textbook, I would have never made it through the course with an A. It is written in a way that builds up in a very easy to understand way and has great sample problems. The review part helped me to catch up within only a week. Very recommended!

I used the 6th edition of Larson's College Algebra and it was easy to understand and learn algebra from it. I would recommend this 7th edition text because it's probably mostly the same as the previous edition. Great features of this text are the author's ephasis on how algebra is used in the everyday world and the well-written word problems that are actually quite fun to figure out.
