{"product_id":"2940016762227","title":"Essential Algebra: A Self-Teaching Guide","description":"This no-nonsense guide provides students and self-learners with a clear and readable study of algebra's most important ideas. Tim Hill's distraction-free approach combines decades of tutoring experience with the methods of his old-school Russian math teachers. The result: learn in a few weeks what conventional schools stretch into months.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Teaches general principles that can be applied to a wide variety of problems.\u003cbr\u003e- Avoids the mindless and excessive routine computations that characterize conventional textbooks.\u003cbr\u003e- Treats algebra as a logically coherent discipline, not as a disjointed collection of techniques.\u003cbr\u003e- Restores proofs to their proper place to remove doubt, convey insight, and encourage precise logical thinking.\u003cbr\u003e- Omits digressions, excessive formalities, and repetitive exercises.\u003cbr\u003e- Covers all the algebra needed to take a calculus course.\u003cbr\u003e- Includes solutions to all problems.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents\u003cbr\u003e1.
