Practical Algebra: A Self-Teaching Guide, 2nd Edition

Practical Algebra If you studied algebra years ago and now need a refresher course in order to use algebraic principles on the job, or if you?re a student who needs an introduction to the subject, here?s the perfect book for you. Practical Algebra is an easy and fun-to-use workout program that quickly puts you in command of all the basic concepts and tools of algebra. With the aid of practical, real-life examples and applications, you?ll learn:

The basic approach and application of algebra to problem solving
The number system (in a much broader way than you have known it from arithmetic)
Monomials and polynomials; factoring algebraic expressions; how to handle algebraic fractions; exponents, roots, and radicals; linear and fractional equations
Functions and graphs; quadratic equations; inequalities; ratio, proportion, and variation; how to solve word problems, and more

Authors Peter Selby and Steve Slavin emphasize practical algebra throughout by providing you with techniques for solving problems in a wide range of disciplines?from engineering, biology, chemistry, and the physical sciences, to psychology and even sociology and business administration. Step by step, Practical Algebra shows you how to solve algebraic problems in each of these areas, then allows you to tackle similar problems on your own, at your own pace. Self-tests are provided at the end of each chapter so you can measure your mastery. more
