Book excerpt: Book DescriptionBasic Concepts of Algebra is an excellent refresher for algebra. It is also an indispensable reference book re-definitions, theory and steps in solving algebraic problems. It covers a wide range of the necessary concepts and content that will help the learner to develop a good background so as to waltz through algebra. The book has twelve chapters: Numbers; Algebraic Expressions; Indices 1, Roots and Radicals; Indices 2; Equations 1; Equations 2; Inequalities; Factorization; Quadratic Equations; Graphing; Solving Systems of Linear Equations and Logarithms. The goal of this book is to give the learner the necessary and required concepts, skills and knowledge so as to be successful in algebra. It is the author's view that a good grasp of the basic concepts of algebra will enable and encourage competence in statistics, geometry, trigonometry and calculus. The learner is therefore encouraged to go through each topic in this book meticulously and remember to practice questions from the exercises. The concepts are set out in a clear format with definitions, examples and exercises. To make sure that you understand the material, each chapter ends with a summary exercise. You should get the most from this book if you work steadily from the beginning to the end in each chapter. Each chapter has the relevant topics and sub-topics with definitions and examples that will allow the learner to easily workout the problems in the exercises.This book is suitable for high school and first year college students. It may be introduced at the upper elementary level and be used right up to adult education. The book is good for those persons who are a bit rusty in algebra or have forgotten content materials because it has been awhile since they have taken an algebra course. If such is the case then this is the perfect book for you to refresh your skills and sharpen your proficiency in core concepts of algebra.Finally I would like to reiterate that algebra can be fun but the learner has to first get a good grasp of the basic concepts so as to have a rewarding experience which will not only advance competency level in algebra but will be favorable for further studies in mathematics. Remember to make a firm commitment to spend the time to study and practice your algebra.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wholeheartedly recommended to every student and user of mathematics, this is an extremely original and highly informative essay on algebra and its place in modern mathematics and science. From the fields studied in every university maths course, through Lie groups to cohomology and category theory, the author shows how the origins of each concept can be related to attempts to model phenomena in physics or in other branches of mathematics. Required reading for mathematicians, from beginners to experts.
Download or read book Basic Concepts of Algebraic Topology written by F.H. Croom and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text is intended as a one semester introduction to algebraic topology at the undergraduate and beginning graduate levels. Basically, it covers simplicial homology theory, the fundamental group, covering spaces, the higher homotopy groups and introductory singular homology theory. The text follows a broad historical outline and uses the proofs of the discoverers of the important theorems when this is consistent with the elementary level of the course. This method of presentation is intended to reduce the abstract nature of algebraic topology to a level that is palatable for the beginning student and to provide motivation and cohesion that are often lacking in abstact treatments. The text emphasizes the geometric approach to algebraic topology and attempts to show the importance of topological concepts by applying them to problems of geometry and analysis. The prerequisites for this course are calculus at the sophomore level, a one semester introduction to the theory of groups, a one semester introduc tion to point-set topology and some familiarity with vector spaces. Outlines of the prerequisite material can be found in the appendices at the end of the text. It is suggested that the reader not spend time initially working on the appendices, but rather that he read from the beginning of the text, referring to the appendices as his memory needs refreshing. The text is designed for use by college juniors of normal intelligence and does not require "mathematical maturity" beyond the junior level.

Download or read book The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra written by Benjamin Fine and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fundamental theorem of algebra states that any complex polynomial must have a complex root. This book examines three pairs of proofs of the theorem from three different areas of mathematics: abstract algebra, complex analysis and topology. The first proof in each pair is fairly straightforward and depends only on what could be considered elementary mathematics. However, each of these first proofs leads to more general results from which the fundamental theorem can be deduced as a direct consequence. These general results constitute the second proof in each pair. To arrive at each of the proofs, enough of the general theory of each relevant area is developed to understand the proof. In addition to the proofs and techniques themselves, many applications such as the insolvability of the quintic and the transcendence of e and pi are presented. Finally, a series of appendices give six additional proofs including a version of Gauss'original first proof. The book is intended for junior/senior level undergraduate mathematics students or first year graduate students, and would make an ideal "capstone" course in mathematics.

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

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.
