Emphasis on *a book*.
In my years of teaching experience,
students who came to college without the equivalent of "college algebra"
were under-prepared for what was expected of them. This is not just an
opinion, it's a fact.
So, your experience is that the style of learning you offer is
unsuitable to anyone who doesn't have some background in algebra. That's fine.
For your course, you set the prereqs.
I never said that they needed any knowledge of algebra. But if they
don't understand the logic behind an inequality, for instance, then may
run into some trouble.
