Contents 1.
Includes problems (with all solutions) that extend your knowledge rather than merely reinforce it.
Covers all the algebra needed to take a calculus course.
Omits digressions, excessive formalities, and repetitive exercises.
Restores proofs to their proper place to remove doubt, convey insight, and encourage precise logical thinking.
Treats algebra as a logically coherent discipline, not as a disjointed collection of techniques.
Avoids the mindless and excessive routine computations that characterize conventional textbooks.
Teaches general principles that can be applied to a wide variety of problems.
The result: learn in a few weeks what conventional schools stretch into months.
Tim Hill\'s distraction-free approach combines decades of tutoring experience with the proven methods of his Russian math teachers.
