    Grandson refreshes his basic math.

    My grandson was never very good at math and only got by in high school.
    However he had to take a test to join the military and he did ok on everything but the math part and had to retake the test.
    While I have a good math background I found that when I tried to instruct him I wasn't a very good teacher of what I knew so well.
    This book was perfect and after a month of us using it he passed his test and will be soon entering the military.
