Beginning Algebra Continued: Second Edition

Description

A good introduction to school algebra –one that is worth the student’s time and effort– should leave the student believing that algebra is exactly as she knows it should be. The author has taught school mathematics to grades 4 through various years of calculus. In doing so, he has seen children display intellectual sophistication that they are supposed to be too young to have. This text does not assume such sophistication, but provides opportunities for it to appear and be enjoyed. The author’s deeply held belief that the student, although less experienced, is a peer in the quest for mathematical truth has produced a book respectful of the student’s intellect, curiosity, wonder, and humanity. The text includes no fewer than 1400 problems. Answers to all problems and full solutions to some are provided in the Appendix. Most of these problems are practice. Some problems ask the student for a proof or a reasoned explanation.
