DESCRIPTION:
Important facts and powerful problem solving approaches are highlighted throughout the text. This book can serve as a complete Algebra I course, and also includes many concepts covered in Algebra II. Each section starts with problems, giving the student a chance to solve them without help before proceeding. The text then includes solutions to these problems, through which algebraic techniques are taught. Middle school students preparing for MATHCOUNTS, high school students preparing for the AMC, and other students seeking to master the fundamentals of algebra will find this book an instrumental part of their mathematics libraries.656 About the author: Richard Rusczyk is a co-author of Art of Problem Solving, Volumes 1 and 2, the author of Art of Problem Solving's Introduction to Geometry.

great book but buy from the publisher Rakesh Kumar It is another great book from the artofproblemsolving authors. It really intends to build a solid foundation of algebra while maintaining a good focus on math competition by categorizing the problems from the previous math competitions and providing a healthy dose of problem solving hints.p.s. You can save lot of money by getting it directly from the [].. Mmsets Inc Eva Szillery said Use this book for great foundation and for the love of Algebra. Richard Rusczyk's Introduction to Algebra is a complete course, with consistent build up of the material. The problems are often surprisingly challenging, well selected problems. Every chapter is well built and consistent from the basic concept to higher challenge, with description of common mistakes, great ideas shared to make the solution easier.The book is a complete Algebra I course (if not Algebra 1.5) - no pictures, no disruption in the subject, just beautiful, well built mathematics.If you want to use an Algebra book you can build on further study, use the Introduction of Algebra of Richard Rusczyk. If you want a book to ha. "Five Stars" according to Jeff. Very useful book. I like it.
