Title: College Algebra 1: Exploring Real Numbers

Book Description: This WorkBook is designed to help you master the basic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division) of integers, fractions (or rational numbers), and real numbers. A more official (and traditional) title for this topic would be Arithmetic, which refers to the art of counting. This name is Greek in origin (arithm e tik e) and combines two Greek words: arithmos (meaning number) and techn e (meaning art or skill). We start with a brief discussion of the integers, what they are and some of their properties, and then continue to the arithmetic of fractions and decimals, the repeating decimal representations of fractions, and finally to a discussion of real numbers. We also discuss the order properties of numbers: <, >, =. In all cases. you will be given problems to solve, or can make up your own problems, and if you like, you can see a detailed, step-by-step solution and explanation of the problem.
