Emphasizing functions, graphs and equations, it demonstrates how the language of algebra is used, drawing examples from physics, chemistry and economics. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This is not a traditional \"Algebra 1\" book. It is designed to be used before (or during) your first algebra class, though it also introduces some concepts from Algebra 2 and Pre-calculus. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e It is organized in three units: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Unit 1 introduces functions and their charts, graphs and equations. You will also learn about composition of functions and inverse functions. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Unit 2 shows how algebra is used to solve puzzles involving a \"mystery number.\" Here, you learn to write and solve equations to find the answers to those dreaded \"word problems.\" We will investigate equations with two variables, linear functions, and systems of equations, applying these to word problems as well. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Unit 3 is about relationships. We start with direct proportions and continue onward, culminating with an examination of exponential functions and logarithms. Throughout this unit, the emphasis is on how these relationships are expressed algebraically and graphically and how they are actually applied. While some of the relationships will be demonstrated with examples from physics and chemistry, no prior knowledge of those topics is assumed. But you will certainly pick up a few ideas about those subjects as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eExceptionally well written, deftly organized, and effectively presented, \u003ci\u003eAdvanced Math for Young Students: A First Course in Algebra\u003c\/i\u003e is an ideal instruction guide and textbook that is highly recommended, especially for home schooling parents, public school curriculums, and community library Mathematics collections. \u003cb\u003eThe Midwest Book Review\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePhilip Keller has been talking to young students about math and science just about incessantly for almost three decades. After graduating from Princeton University with a degree in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, he became a high school math and science teacher, teaching mostly physics but also chemistry, calculus and geometry, along with a steady side dish of SAT math. He is the author of \u003ci\u003eThe New Math SAT Game Plan.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e When he has no captive audience to talk to about these things, he blogs about them instead.
