Most students have a blend of emotions while dealing with Algebra. Talking about x and y, unknowns and equations, is exciting, and equally confusing. This is not just our premise, but this is based on feedback / direct inputs we have received from the student, teacher and parent community. We started a project to address this conceptual gap.We started stringing together a set of concepts followed by a problem set using the preceding texts. This effort left us with a skeletal structure of concepts in Algebra which progresses from basics to through to advanced topics. This formed the basis of ourwork on "Elementary Algebra." We sincerely hope that the student is able to get a good grasp of the subject and the techniques after working with the contents of this book.
