What Free Algebra eBooks Are Available for Self-Teaching?

[kq6up]

I have a friend that wants to return to the local community college for a degree in chemistry. He is really rusty at math. Can anyone recommend a good free ebook for teaching oneself algebra. Solutions are a bonus, but answers are a must.

Thanks,

I would suggest watching Khan Academy videos and getting a Schaum's study guide. The combination would be quite helpful with Schaum's many problem sets and the comprehensive Khan Academy videos.

Alternatively you could watch the Math is Power for You videos developed by a community college prof:

Sounds good.
