For students who are intimidated by all forms of math, here is a set of easy steps that lead to an understanding of elementary algebra. The author defines all terms, points out potential pitfalls in algebraic calculation, and makes problem solving a

Starting with the very basics and reinforcing concepts with practice and tips along the way, Idiot's Guides: Algebra I makes a complex subject easier to grasp and helps students and adult learners clear the hurdles that can stand between them and their academic goals. First-year algebra can be challenging. Integers, variables, expressions, functions, polynominals--it can seem like a foreign language, with numbers. But now you have the tools to...

If you think algebra has to be boring, confusing and unrelated to anything in the real world, think again! Written in a humorous, conversational style, this book gently nudges students toward success in pre-algebra and Algebra I. With its engaging question/answer format and helpful practice problems, glossary and index, it is ideal for homeschoolers, tutors and students striving for classroom excellence.

Math is the basic foundation upon which most of the other areas of STEAM rely. If a child aspires to be a scientist or an engineer or an architect, they need to first understand math. Little Leonardo's Fascinating World of Math introduces many mathematical concepts in a context showing their interconnectedness with so many of the things in our everyday lives.

Experience a snowstorm through playful verse and the power of exponential growth! Clever rhymes and dynamic illustrations combine in a fun winter readaloud that introduces key math concepts--

Richard M. Weiss is William Walker Professor of Mathematics at Tufts University. He is the author of The Structure of Spherical Buildings (Princeton) and the coauthor (with Jacques Tits) of Moufang Polygons. He received a Humboldt Research Prize in 2004. This book introduces a new class of non-associative algebras related to certain exceptional algebraic groups and their associated buildings. Richard Weiss develops a theory of these "quadrangular...

Die Konzepte in der Algebra wie Gruppen, Ringe, Körper gewinnen ihre mathematische Bedeutung und Kraft aus der Verbindung von abstrakten Strukturen und wichtigen Beispielen. Dieses essential bietet eine kompakte Einführung in diese algebraischen Strukturen und deren Zusammenwirken beispielsweise in der Galoistheorie. Die zentralen Beispiele, also die ganzen, rationalen, reellen und p-adischen Zahlen und die symmetrischen Gruppen, motivieren und...
