Arithmetic deals with operations using numbers, but algebra is needed to thoroughly understand the concept of number, which is vital in our society. The natural sequel to the author’s previous book Anyone Can Do Arithmetic, Anyone Can Do Algebraaims to promote genuine understanding of one of the most important foundation stones of Mathematics. Within his book, Brian Fletcher deals with the fundamental aspects of algebra in order to combat the common misconception that algebra is too difficult. Focusing on how these algebraic rules can be applied, topics range from quadratic equations and powers of numbers, to graphs and how they provide an alternative method of solving any equation. Through the examination of such topics, Anyone Can Do Algebra can provide a full and proper understanding of an important mathematic concept. Unlike other algebra based books, this book focuses on the steady build up of understanding to provide a more solid foundation, rather than simply learning and repeating rules. This book will appeal to those who have previously struggled with maths, in particular algebra, and wish to improve their understanding of a vital aspect of learning. Praise for Brian Fletcher’s previous book, Anyone can do Arithmetic "If you are one of those people who view arithmetic with the same confusion as attempting a DIY job without instructions, this is the book for you. The explanations and examples are detailed yet easy to follow in a very reader-friendly way. It should be in every home as a reference book." Madelyn Arnold, former teacher

A New York Times–bestselling author looks at mathematics education in America—when it’s worthwhile, and when it’s not. Why do we inflict a full menu of mathematics—algebra, geometry, trigonometry, even calculus—on all young Americans, regardless of their interests or aptitudes? While Andrew Hacker has been a professor of mathematics himself, and extols the glories of the subject, he also questions some widely held assumptions in this thought-provoking and practical-minded book. Does advanced math really broaden our minds? Is mastery of azimuths and asymptotes needed for success in most jobs? Should the entire Common Core syllabus be required of every student? Hacker worries that our nation’s current frenzied emphasis on STEM is diverting attention from other pursuits and even subverting the spirit of the country. Here, he shows how mandating math for everyone prevents other talents from being developed and acts as an irrational barrier to graduation and careers. He proposes alternatives, including teaching facility with figures, quantitative reasoning, and understanding statistics. Expanding upon the author’s viral New York Times op-ed, The Math Myth is sure to spark a heated and needed national conversation—not just about mathematics but about the kind of people and society we want to be. “Hacker’s accessible arguments offer plenty to think about and should serve as a clarion call to students, parents, and educators who decry the one-size-fits-all approach to schooling.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review

Many students have trouble the first time they take a mathematics course in which proofs play a significant role. This new edition of Velleman's successful text will prepare students to make the transition from solving problems to proving theorems by teaching them the techniques needed to read and write proofs. The book begins with the basic concepts of logic and set theory, to familiarize students with the language of mathematics and how it is interpreted. These concepts are used as the basis for a step-by-step breakdown of the most important techniques used in constructing proofs. The author shows how complex proofs are built up from these smaller steps, using detailed 'scratch work' sections to expose the machinery of proofs about the natural numbers, relations, functions, and infinite sets. To give students the opportunity to construct their own proofs, this new edition contains over 200 new exercises, selected solutions, and an introduction to Proof Designer software. No background beyond standard high school mathematics is assumed. This book will be useful to anyone interested in logic and proofs: computer scientists, philosophers, linguists, and of course mathematicians.
