If you find this page, then choose the link from my Homepage \"Basic, Intermediate, and College Algebra: One Step at a Time.\"  Choose \"Basic Algebra\", and look in Chapter 2 for Sections 2.12 and 2.13 on the Laws of Exponents.  I think you will find it \"user-friendly\" and MUCH easier to read than traditional textbooks.  It's all FREE.   </SPAN>\n" );
