Best Basic college algebra

The purpose of this booklet is to assist students, particularly those with a weakness in algebra, and to make available to other students, instructors and counselors an effective learning tool. The material has been prepared by one of the most experienced authors of study aids for college algebra. It reflects his many years as a teacher of algebra at the junior college level.

 

Algebra is one of the most fundamental mathematical concepts. It is therefore no surprise that, in many fields of study, algebraic methods are used to solve complex real-world problems. In mathematics and science, algebra can be used to represent and solve polynomial equations that arise from geometry and linear algebra. As you might have learned in school, there are many techniques for solving polynomial equations. This article focuses on one particular technique known as the Gaussian Elimination Method.

 

If you ever took a math class, then you know what algebra is. Algebra is the branch of mathematics where you deal with not just basic numbers, but variables and abstract concepts like functions. This makes it a little confusing, but it also is behind a lot of very practical applications like modelling the gasses in a science lab.
