This is just a beginner's book in algebra. We start on the assumption that you know nothing at all about the subject, and I will lead you step-by-step. This is for those of you who want to exercise your minds and maybe to stretch them a bit in a particular and recognized direction, like maths. In maths, algebra is everything. If you can do this book, you can do maths. This book is also for those of you studying a formal maths syllabus but feeling inclined to give up on algebra. Don't bury your head in the sand. You won't get anywhere worthwhile without some understanding of algebra. This book should give you that, if you persevere.
