Synopsis

Elegant and versatile, algebra is a core mathematical discipline providing the foundation for countless other fields, from statistics and engineering to medicine and genetics. This introductory algebra textbook serves as a window into this critical subject. Algebra arose from the need to solve problems from practical situations. For example, ancient Babylonians used algebraic techniques to conduct business transactions and calculate building dimensions. By the 9th century, Middle Eastern and later European mathematicians applied algebra to other fields of mathematics. This book begins with an in-depth introduction to number systems, then systematically teaches techniques for solving foundational problems in algebra, including linear equations, polynomials, and quadratic equations. The author presents properties and processes in detail, providing ample practice opportunities with exercises. These essential algebra skills serve as building blocks for more advanced concepts and applications. By presenting the subject in this clear and comprehensive manner, the author brings algebra to life. This book allows readers to grasp the beauty and power of algebra and prepares them for success in higher-level mathematics and STEM fields.
