Course: Pre-Algebra

Publisher's Description:

In this new Pre-Algebra book from Christ the King Books, the student will learn what mathematics as a discipline is; how algebra differs from the other branches; what algebraic symbols are; the basic theorems of algebra; and the application of modern “numbers” (e.g. decimals, fractions, imaginary numbers) to algebra. The real fun begins with the solving of simple linear equations (e.g. “3x +25 = 40”); proportion and rate problems; and inequalities.

In order to use this book, the student should already have proficiency with basic arithmetic, as well as with basic modern concepts such as decimals, fractions, percentages, and powers / exponents. These can be learned in our Modern Concepts in Mathematics textbook.
