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.
