Sinopse:
A student picking up algebra for the first time needs a course that starts cleanly and builds confidence, and this one does exactly that. Its contents move from Introduction to Algebra into Positive and Negative Numbers, Addition, Simple Equations, and Subtraction before expanding into factoring, fractions, ratios, and graphical representation. The structure is unusually systematic for an early algebra text: after the opening arithmetic foundations, it works through identities, parentheses, multiplication and division, equations and problems, then advances into linear systems, square roots and radicals, quadratic equations, exponents, irrational equations, variation, and even imaginaries. The author group is also institutional rather than lone-writer: Herbert E. Hawkes, William A. Luby, and Frank C. Touton bring academic and school-level experience together. What stands out is the book's broad scope for beginners, especially its steady path from elementary techniques to more advanced algebraic topics without losing the introductory tone. It offers a complete first year in algebra, with enough breadth to support both classroom teaching and self-study, while remaining anchored in carefully sequenced exercises and practical problem solving.
