Material Detail

After a brief introduction, each section will offer examples to introduce new concepts and show how they can be applied. The examples are not intended to provide a step-by-step procedure for you to copy when you solve the problems in the assignment. In fact, you will find that the assigned problems may not even resemble the examples. Real-life problems, such as those that arise in the workplace, are so varied that you cannot expect to follow a memorized set of steps to solve them. Algebra is, ultimately, a useful method for expressing relationships in the world that people use every day. Every section of this book is devoted to exposing you to, and increasing your skill with, formulas (numerical relationships). Of course there are relationships in the world that you may find more interesting, but you are probably reading this because you have already discovered that you cannot live on love alone.
