EASY WAY
Books in Barron's Easy Way Series make fine textbook
supplements in a wide array of subjects, and are also ideal for
independent study by high school and college students who want
to boost their grades. This brand-new Easy Way title starts with
exercises in basic algebra and progresses to the point where
students will be able to solve word problems through calculus.
Problems are clearly and concisely dissected and analyzed. Each
word problem breaks down into four successive parts: statement
of the problem; its analysis; a work area; and the answer.
Chapter One deals with mathematical formulas and their uses.
Following chapters focus on mixture and coin problems;
perimeters and circumferences; determining areas of
geometrically defined spaces; finding volumes of solid forms such
as cubes, cones, and spheres; solving integer and numbers
problems; solving statistical problems; using first degree
equations; solving ratio, proportion, and variation problems;
understanding quadratic equations; tackling problems solved by
trigonometry, and problems solved by functions of calculus.
Amusing line art adds a user-friendly touch to this book. An
appendix presents solutions to all exercises and tests plus
trigonometric tables.
