Book excerpt: College Algebra provides a comprehensive exploration of algebraic principles and meets scope and sequence requirements for a typical introductory algebra course. The modular approach and richness of content ensure that the book meets the needs of a variety of courses. College Algebra offers a wealth of examples with detailed, conceptual explanations, building a strong foundation in the material before asking students to apply what they've learned. Coverage and Scope In determining the concepts, skills, and topics to cover, we engaged dozens of highly experienced instructors with a range of student audiences. The resulting scope and sequence proceeds logically while allowing for a significant amount of flexibility in instruction. Chapters 1 and 2 provide both a review and foundation for study of Functions that begins in Chapter 3. The authors recognize that while some institutions may find this material a prerequisite, other institutions have told us that they have a cohort that need the prerequisite skills built into the course. Chapter 1: Prerequisites Chapter 2: Equations and Inequalities Chapters 3-6: The Algebraic Functions Chapter 3: Functions Chapter 4: Linear Functions Chapter 5: Polynomial and Rational Functions Chapter 6: Exponential and Logarithm Functions Chapters 7-9: Further Study in College Algebra Chapter 7: Systems of Equations and Inequalities Chapter 8: Analytic Geometry Chapter 9: Sequences, Probability and Counting Theory

Download or read book Linear Equations Workbook written by Maria Miller and published by . This book was released on 2017-01-06 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Linear Equations Workbook presents the student with the basics of solving linear equations, including equations that involve a variable on both sides and equations that require the usage of the distributive property to eliminate parentheses. We also briefly study inequalities and graphing. This workbook best suits pre-algebra or grades 7 to 8 mathematics studies. The first lesson reviews the concept of an equation and how to model equations using a pan balance (scale). The basic principle for solving equations is that, when you perform the same operation on both sides of an equation, the two sides remain equal. The workbook presents two alternatives for keeping track of the operations to be performed on an equation. The one method, writing the operation under each side of the equation, is common in the United States. The other method, writing the operation in the right margin, is common in Finland. Either way is correct, and the choice is just a matter of the personal preference of the teacher. The introduction to solving equations is followed by a lesson on addition and subtraction equations and another on multiplication and division equations. All the equations are easily solved in only one step of calculations. The twofold goal is to make the student proficient in manipulating negative integers and also to lay a foundation for handling more involved equations that are studied later on in the workbook. In the next lesson, students write equations to solve simple word problems. Even though they could solve most of these problems without using the equations, the purpose of the lesson is to make the student proficient in writing simple equations before moving on to more complex equations from more difficult word problems. The next topic, in the lesson Constant Speed, is solving problems with distance (d), rate or velocity (v), and time (t). Students use the equivalent formulas d = vt and v = d/t to solve problems involving constant or average speed. They learn an easy way to remember the formula v = d/t from the unit for speed that they already know, "miles per hour." In later lessons, we delve deeper into our study of equations. Now the equations require two or more steps to solve and may contain parentheses. The variable may appear on both sides of the equation. Students will also write equations to solve simple word problems. There is also a lesson on patterns of growth, which may seem to be simply a fascinating topic, but in reality presents the fundamentals of a very important concept in algebra - that of linear functions (although they are not mentioned by that name) - and complements the study of lines in the subsequent lessons. After the section about equations, the text briefly presents the basics of inequalities and how to graph them on a number line. Students apply the principles for solving equations to solve simple inequalities and word problems that involve inequalities. The last major topic is graphing. Students begin the section by learning to graph linear equations and continue on to the concept of slope, which in informal terms is a measure of the inclination of a line. More formally, slope can be defined as the ratio of the change in y-values to the change in x-values. The final lesson applies graphing to the previously-studied concepts of speed, time, and distance through graphs of the equation d = vt in the coordinate plane.

Book excerpt: The images in this book are in color. For a less-expensive grayscale paperback version, see ISBN 9781680923254. Prealgebra 2e is designed to meet scope and sequence requirements for a one-semester prealgebra course. The text introduces the fundamental concepts of algebra while addressing the needs of students with diverse backgrounds and learning styles. Each topic builds upon previously developed material to demonstrate the cohesiveness and structure of mathematics. Students who are taking basic mathematics and prealgebra classes in college present a unique set of challenges. Many students in these classes have been unsuccessful in their prior math classes. They may think they know some math, but their core knowledge is full of holes. Furthermore, these students need to learn much more than the course content. They need to learn study skills, time management, and how to deal with math anxiety. Some students lack basic reading and arithmetic skills. The organization of Prealgebra makes it easy to adapt the book to suit a variety of course syllabi.

Chen Greif, Assistant Professor, Department of Computer Science, University of British Columbia.Overall, the book is magnificent. It fills a long-felt need for an accessible textbook on modern sparse direct methods. Its choice of scope is excellent John Gilbert, Professor, Department of Computer Science, University of California, Santa Barbara.Computational scientists often encounter problems requiring the solution of sparse systems of linear equations. Attacking these problems efficiently requires an in-depth knowledge of the underlying theory, algorithms, and data structures found in sparse matrix software libraries. Here, Davis presents the fundamentals of sparse matrix algorithms to provide the requisite background. The book includes CSparse, a concise downloadable sparse matrix package that illustrates the algorithms and theorems presented in the book and equips readers with the tools necessary to understand larger and more complex software packages.With a strong emphasis on MATLAB and the C programming language, Direct Methods for Sparse Linear Systems equips readers with the working knowledge required to use sparse solver packages and write code to interface applications to those packages. The book also explains how MATLAB performs its sparse matrix computations.Audience This invaluable book is essential to computational scientists and software developers who want to understand the theory and algorithms behind modern techniques used to solve large sparse linear systems. The book also serves as an excellent practical resource for students with an interest in combinatorial scientific computing.Preface; Chapter 1: Introduction; Chapter 2: Basic algorithms; Chapter 3: Solving triangular systems; Chapter 4: Cholesky factorization; Chapter 5: Orthogonal methods; Chapter 6: LU factorization; Chapter 7: Fill-reducing orderings; Chapter 8: Solving sparse linear systems; Chapter 9: CSparse; Chapter 10: Sparse matrices in MATLAB; Appendix: Basics of the C programming language; Bibliography; Index.

Download or read book Learning MATLAB written by Walter Gander and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-11-21 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive and stimulating introduction to Matlab, a computer language now widely used for technical computing, is based on an introductory course held at Qian Weichang College, Shanghai University, in the fall of 2014. Teaching and learning a substantial programming language aren’t always straightforward tasks. Accordingly, this textbook is not meant to cover the whole range of this high-performance technical programming environment, but to motivate first- and second-year undergraduate students in mathematics and computer science to learn Matlab by studying representative problems, developing algorithms and programming them in Matlab. While several topics are taken from the field of scientific computing, the main emphasis is on programming. A wealth of examples are completely discussed and solved, allowing students to learn Matlab by doing: by solving problems, comparing approaches and assessing the proposed solutions.

Download or read book Linear Equations written by P. M. Cohn and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: LINEAR equations play an important part, not only in mathe matics itself, but also in many fields in which mathematics is used. Whether we deal with elastic deformations or electrical networks, the flutter of aeroplane wings or the estimation of errors by the method of least squares, at some stage in the cal culation we encounter a system of linear equations. In each case the problem of solving the equations is the same, and it is with the mathematical treatment of this question that this book is concerned. By meeting the problem in its pure state the reader will gain an insight which it is hoped will help him when he comes to apply it to his field of work. The actual pro cess of setting up the equations and of interpreting the solution is one which more properly belongs to that field, and in any case is a problem of a different nature altogether. So we need not concern ourselves with it here and are able to concentrate on the mathematical aspect of the situation. The most important tools for handling linear equations are vectors and matrices, and their basic properties are developed in separate chapters. The method by which the nature of the solution is described is one which leads immediately to a solu tion in practical cases, and it is a method frequently adopted when solving problems by mechanical or electronic computers.

Download or read book Algebra 1 Single Variable Linear Equations Workbook written by Norman Balason and published by . This book was released on 2021-04-11 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DESCRIPTION The ALGEBRA 1 SINGLE VARIABLE LINEAR EQUATIONS WORKBOOK is a resource that students can use to practice applying the properties, concepts, and computational techniques that are used to solve one-step, two-step, three-step, and multiple-step single variable linear equations. This workbook contains examples of step-by-step solutions for these types of equations as reference for students. This workbook also contains a review of the Commutative Properties of Addition and Multiplication, Associative Properties of Addition and Multiplication, the Additive Inverse Property, the Multiplicative Inverse Property, the Subtraction Property, the Identity Properties of Addition and Multiplication, and the Distributive Property of Multiplication. Additionally, this workbook provides examples of equations that are conditional, an identity, and a contradiction. There are step-by-step solutions for every problem in this workbook. This enables students to verify their work and solutions, and correct any mistakes. If students adhere to this process diligently, they should develop confidence in their abilities to solve the types of singe variable linear equations. HOW TO USE THIS WORKBOOK As students work their way through the different types of equations in this workbook, they may find some of the equations a bit of a challenge to solve. This is intentional so students get practice in solving various complex problems. If they get stuck on a problem, they can take a quick look at the solutions for the next step in how to proceed. Then, they should go back to the problem and keep working on it until it's finished. Afterwards, they should check their work and answer. If students can do the majority of these challenging problems correctly on their own, they can feel a sense of accomplishment knowing that they solved difficult problems. Note: These problems will definitely improve their computational skills if they minimize their use of calculators. APPLICATION PROBLEMS This workbook contains a total of 147 problems. The last 37 problems are word problems; twelve which ask students to find a number under a given set of conditions. Some problems are percentage problems and distance problems. There is a pair of word problems where students are asked to convert temperature given in degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit, and vice versa. There are other word problems where students have to determine how to use the information in the problem to substitute for one or multiple variables to reduce the equation to a single variable linear equation.
