HOW TO USE THIS BOOK
Algebra students will find this book to be an invaluable supplement to their textbooks. The book is divided into 30 chapters, each dealing with a separate topic. The information is presented in question-and-answer format to match the format of the tests and quizzes teachers are likely to use. By reviewing the questions and the provided answers, students can prepare themselves for actual test situations.
HOW TO GRASP A TOPIC FULLY
1. Refer to your class text and read the section pertaining to the topic. You should become acquainted with the themes discussed there.
2. Locate the topic you are looking for by referring to the Table of Contents in the front of this book.
To learn and understand a topic thoroughly and retain its contents, it will generally be necessary for you to review the problems several times. Repeated review is essential to gain experience in recognizing the themes that are most relevant and selecting the best solution techniques.
HOW TO FIND A QUESTION TYPE
To locate one or more questions related to particular subject matter, refer to the index. The numbers in the index refer to question numbers, not to page numbers. This arrangement is intended to facilitate finding a question rapidly, since two or more questions may appear on a page.
If a particular type of question cannot be found readily, it is recommended that you refer to the Table of Contents in the front pages and then turn to the chapter that is applicable to the question being sought.
In preparing for an exam, it is useful to find the topics to be covered on the exam in the Table of Contents, and then review the questions under those topics several times. This should equip you with what might be needed for the exam.
