Publisher's Synopsis
This book is about some important basics in elementary algebra, and covers equations most often used in high schools and early years in colleges or universities. And the equations are for curves called conic sections, often just called conics.
There are five kinds in conics. And two are covered briefly here in this book. One is a line and the other is a parabola. This book is in fact, the abridged version of the two books, Conics 1 and Conics 2.
So this book covers equations for lines, often called linear equations or equations of degree 1, and equations for parabolas, often called quadratic equations or equations of degree 2. And the book explains all the basics of and the use of those equations.
