Do the Math - the way your grandmother did. A simple step-by-step guide to doing algebra the way it was taught 50 years ago when American high school graduates were first in the world in math and science. Years ago algebra wasn't complicated. Anyone graduating from an American high school was prepared to proceed to college algebra upon entering college. There was no credit given for elementary algebra as a college course, and few people required it. This book explains it the same way it was done then. After 15 years of teaching these concepts at the college level, I have found this method still works today.
