Algebra As a Problem Solving Technique
  • You've been asked to buy peanuts at a baseball game; you have $12.50, and you want to know how many bags you can buy. One bag is $2.75. This is an algebra problem! In this chapter you will begin learning how to use numbers and variables to find out unknown information. This starts off with a closer look at numbers and operations, then covers variables and equations.

Making math work for you
  • Math is a method of solving problems. You take information you know, and by manipulating it using mathematical principles, you can find information you don't know. Functions are the mathematical framework for solving problems. They have parameters, rules, and ways of being solved. This section will introduce you to common functions and how to use them.
