Recommend Books Containing Algebra Problems with Answers?

Question

I'm a Medical Intern.

I like my job but i'm not crazy about it.

I Always Liked math at High School.

Please Recommend me Books or eBooks Containing Algebra Problems so i can Play between Shifts.

My Back Ground : It's been years since i solved a Math problem But I do programming (C#, Java) and Game Development (Unity) as a Side Job and my income is good and i can't Remember anything under B+ in Math Class.

P.S : I don't want to learn Algebra with Lectures, I just want to Solve Problems and Learn as I do,

Answer 1

Unconventional, but why not get the math gre subject book. It has solutions and has a quick background on topics.

Answer 2

The following sounds like it would be a good fit for what you want. The problems are a little beyond, but not by a lot, the typical level in U.S. high school algebra texts. A nice aspect of the book is that it has separate "answers only" and "detailed solutions" sections. I sometimes used this book for extra credit test problems when I taught college algebra courses.

Challenging Problems in Algebra by Alfred S. Posamentier and Charles T. Salkind

Answer 3

Not what you asked for, but what I recommend you try.

If I imagine myself in your situation I think I'd find algebra problems - even hard ones - boring. Why not try some problems in the category recreational mathematics? There's an inexpensive Dover book with a free downloadable solutions manual: http://store.doverpublications.com/0486409171.html .
