Boca Raton : CRC Press, is an imprint of the Taylor & Francis Group, c2016Description: xix, 361 pages ; 24 cmContent type: text Media type: unmediated Carrier type: volumeISBN: 9781482246476 (Paperback)Subject(s): Algebra | GeometryDDC classification: 512.2 Summary: "Algebra & Geometry: An Introduction to University Mathematics provides a bridge between high school and undergraduate mathematics courses on algebra and geometry. The author shows students how mathematics is more than a collection of methods by presenting important ideas and their historical origins throughout the text. He incorporates a hands-on approach to proofs and connects algebra and geometry to various applications. The text focuses on linear equations, polynomial equations, and quadratic forms. The first several chapters cover foundational topics, including the importance of proofs and properties commonly encountered when studying algebra. The remaining chapters form the mathematical core of the book. These chapters explain the solution of different kinds of algebraic equations, the nature of the solutions, and the interplay between geometry and algebra." --Provided by publisher.| Item type | Current library | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
