Publisher's Synopsis
BASIC ALGEBRA This is the best book around to teach the essentials of pre-algebra and first-year algebra in an easy-to-follow, low-anxiety way. Basic Algebra makes complex ideas simple: Teaching material is broken down into one- or two-page lessons, each explaining a single principle. Clear explanations mean a minimum of intervention is required. Can be used for self-instruction or as a classroom text. A special section with practice exercises follows each lesson. Chapter checkout tests reinforce individual lessons.
