Prealgebra: College Preparatory Mathematics
is written for students who do not have the basic skills necessary to succeed
in and elementary college algebra course. The orderly transition from arithmetic
to algebra is accomplished in two ways. First, whenever possible, the text utilizes
formats usually reserved for algebra in the development skills in arithmetic. Second,
and perhaps the most unique feature of the text, is the introduction to algebra which
includes the skills necessary for solving first-degree equations. These skills are
presented before signed numbers. Then the concepts are reinforced using signed numbers,
avoiding introducing too many new ideas all at once. This text provides an excellent
foundation for a course in elementary algebra.
