This classic introduction to algebra is suitable for students meeting the subject for the first time or needing to brush up on it before a course or exam. It will allow you to learn the principles and foundations of the subject and provides the knowledge of algebra required for applications of mathematics to subjects such as engineering.
Integer Programming and Combinatorial OptimizationThe course is a comprehensive introduction to the theory, algorithms and applications of integer optimization and is organized in four parts: formulations and relaxations, algebra and geometry of integer optimization, algorithms for integer optimization, and extensions of integer optimization.
The mere thought of having to take a required calculus course is enough to make legions of students break out in a cold sweat. Others who have no intention of ever studying the subject have this notion that calculus is impossibly difficult unless you happen to be a direct descendant of Einstein. Well, the good news is that you can master calculus. It's not nearly as tough as its mystique would lead you to think. Much of calculus is really just very advanced algebra, geometry, and trig.
This book describes the construction of algebraic models which represent the operations of the double entry accounting system. It gives a novel, comprehensive, proof based treatment of the topic, using such concepts from abstract algebra as automata, digraphs, monoids and quotient structures.
Practice Makes Perfect has established itself as a reliable practical workbook series in the language-learning category. Practice Makes Perfect: Algebra, provides students with the same clear, concise approach and extensive exercises to key fields they've come to expect from the series-but now within mathematics. This book presents thorough coverage of skills, such as handling decimals and fractions, functions, and linear and quadratic equations.
