I agree w/the above post concerning algebrator. I've tried using it and had very little success. You waste more time trying to figure out things than it's worth. I've been getting numerous Algebrator editor errors and then either I shut down my sys and log back on or I hit yes over and over again till I scroll through numerous files to get through the end. I don't even know what I hit to get this error. It's helped with 1-2 sets of problems, I would have been better off just learning the concepts and DOING THEM. Maybe there was a problem downloading the file, still, I'm wasting too much time screwing around w/it. Of course, since I don't like it, I'm sure there will be 20 people coming forward that say it's invaluable. If it worked for me like I expected, it would have been worth the $$$$ because I'm just about "gettin done" at this point. I'm over 60% done after (1) day/night with Alek's and I'm a rock when it comes to algebra, and that was the earning it method along w/some help from a couple of other useful websites. Algebra I cliff quickreview book has also been helpful.
