What's your experience with basic algebra? If you are re-learning, just stick with this book do practice problems from a college textbook such this: http://msenux2.redwoods.edu/ElemAlgText/..
Lang's book is decent but too long.

OP: Took high algebra/trig/calc I in high school but that was many years ago. Starting from scratch.

>The questions are fairly challenging.
Unlike what passes as a "school algebra" book nowadays, that one is meant to make you think about what you are doing.
>In the [Schaum?] series, is it feasible/advisable to do every problem?
Probably not. Those books are filled to the brim with repetitive exercises. Just do the ones that seem most interesting from each chapter until you feel comfortable with the topic. For a review you shouldn't spend too much time on each topic — you're not learning it for the first time.

Keep trucking boss, you're on the right path

There's no fast way, you just slog through the exercises. Try a meme from scratch course too: https://learnaifromscratch.github.io/math.html

I prefer usually to just pick up a large Calculus book and work through it, then you backtrack all the algebra and whatever you forgot as you do the exercises.

>The questions are fairly challenging
That's the point.
>Should I be supplementing this book with something like a standard algebra book used in US high schools/colleges
No. Maybe read "precalculus mathematics in a nutshell" by simmons if you're looking for a quick refresher.

I don't seem to see it on here
