Summary
Summary
All of the courses in the junior high, high school and college mathematics curriculum require a grounding in certain fundamentals, knowledge of mathematical principles required for algebra, geometry, or any other discipline beyond the bare essentials, as well as knowledge of techniques for working problems and manipulating the elements of mathematical formulas and other tools. This text aims to give students the help they need to master these fundamental techniques, give them a solid understanding of how basic mathematics works, and prepare them to perform well in any further mathematics courses they take.
