Synopsis

Practical High School Algebra: An Elementary Course for Problem Solvers

A practical introduction to algebra that connects math to everyday problems, helping students use equations to solve real-world questions.

This edition emphasizes a problem‑driven approach. The book develops the idea that the equation is the main tool for solving problems, introducing new topics only as they expand this tool. Students encounter a steady progression from simple, concrete tasks to more general formulas, with many carefully graded problems that build skill step by step. The material is designed to be relatable, using everyday data and realistic scenarios to illustrate concepts.

• Focus on problem solving over theory, with a large variety of problems designed for first-year learners.
• Clear, graphical and numerical methods, including early graphs to study simultaneous equations and motion.
• Systematic development of negative numbers, polynomials, fractions, and literal equations through practical exercises.
• Accessible explanations of, and practice with, the equation as the central tool for finding unknowns.

Ideal for readers who want a solid, application‑oriented foundation in algebra, with careful pacing and many opportunities to apply what they learn to physics, geometry, and everyday problems.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The High School Algebra has been written in two parts, the one designed solely for the first year and the other for a complete review and advanced course at a later period. The authors recognize the impossibility of combining in a single treatment the qualities necessary for beginners with the more mature point of view suitable for the third or fourth year student. The important features of theE lementary Course are: 1. Algebra is vitally and persistently connected with arithmetic. Each principle in the book is first studied in its application to numbers in the A rabic notation. The principles of Algebra are thus connected with those already known in arithmetic. Letters are introduced as abbreviations for a number or any number. Literal expressions are called number expressions the vague term quantity is not used. In the exercises, A rabic figures are constantly involved in the same manner as letters. Checking by the substitution of parilcular numbers for letters occurs throughout. 2. TJ ie principles of Algebra used in theE lementary Course are enunciated in a small number of short statements eighteen in all. The purpose of these principles is to furnish in simple form a codification of those operations of Algebra which are sufficiently different from the ones already familiar in arithmetic to require special emphasis.
