Preface
Algebra
Simplified Intermediate & Advanced picks
up where my first book, Algebra Simplified Basic &
Intermediate left off. It is
intended to assist students in intermediate and advanced topics
studied in a 2nd
year high school algebra course or an intermediate college algebra
course. The material is presented in textbook style format with each
concept illustrated through numerous examples. The examples are
solved methodically to explain each concept as simply as possible.
Important notes and tips for easier learning are presented in bold
throughout the book. The goal is provide readers sufficient detail
in the examples so they can solve similar problems on their own,
which are presented at the end of each section.
Specific
topics covered in this book include division of polynomials, finding
roots of polynomials, factoring techniques such as quadratic formula
and completing the square, radicals, rational exponents, complex
numbers, logarithms, conic sections, composition of functions,
inverse functions, arithmetic and geometric sequences, matrices and
basic probability and counting techniques At the end of each chapter
there is a section titled Key
Terms and Concepts to Review.
Answers to problem sets along with key steps in the solution of each
problem are also found at the end of each chapter. The book
concludes with a glossary of terms used throughout the book.
