Synopsis
Start here for a clear, practical introduction to algebra
This first course builds on arithmetic to introduce algebra with a clear, simple style. It emphasizes real advantages of using letters to represent numbers while tying new ideas back to familiar rules.
The text is designed for steady progress. Difficulties are introduced one at a time, with ample practice to master each concept before moving forward. Graphs are used when helpful, but graphical work is not treated as the core idea; the focus is on understanding functions and how they change as the independent variable changes. A wide range of carefully graded exercises keeps concepts concrete and approachable, with attention to problems drawn from real-life contexts and other subjects.- Learn how and why new symbols are useful, with a gradual path from arithmetic to algebra.
- See the idea of a function early, and how graphs illustrate changes in a relationship.
- Work through many structured problems and exercises that build mastery.
- Explore how algebra connects to geometry, physics, and other high school topics.

School Algebra First Course (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents School Algebra as a continuation of Elementary Arithmetic and provides ample material for a full year's work in First-Year High School. It assumes no previous knowledge of Algebra, and the first two chapters are devoted to motivating the basic concepts and operations through an inductive approach. The book is divided into 24 chapters, each of which takes up a single new difficulty at a time. This approach allows the student to master each concept before proceeding to the next, building a solid foundation. By working through the book, students will learn to represent numbers with letters (algebraic expressions), to combine similar terms, and to solve linear equations. They will also be introduced to the rectangular coordinate system and will learn how to graph and analyze basic functions. Written by experienced educators, the book includes numerous graded exercises and problems, providing ample practice and reinforcement of the concepts presented. The book concludes with a chapter on Systems of Equations, an important topic that is often neglected in First-Year Algebra but that is essential for subsequent work in Mathematics and other disciplines. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330025536_0
