How to Solve Word Problems in Mathematics: Proven Techniques from an Expert
Most 9th grade math, or "Algebra 1," textbooks are structured in such a way that students find it extremely difficult to apply pertinent mathematical concepts and skills to the solving of word problems. This book soothes math students' fears with numerous solved practice problems, step-by-step problem-solving procedures, and crystal-clear explanations of important mathematical concepts. Designed to be used independently or in conjunction with standard textbooks.

Student Book A and Student Book B (consumable) are packed with carefully-sequenced examples, each followed by its own guided practice to ensure mastery. Colorful illustrations and detailed graphics engage students. Student Book A is conveniently designed for use in the first half of the year and Student Book B for the second half of the year.
Matrix Analysis and Applied Linear Algebra is an honest math text that circumvents the traditional definition-theorem-proof format that has bored students in the past. Meyer uses a fresh approach to introduce a variety of problems and examples ranging from the elementary to the challenging and from simple applications to discovery problems. The focus on applications is a big difference between this book and others. Meyer's book is more rigorous and goes into more depth than some.
athematical Challenge Problems with Solution Strategies. Problem-mathics is a collection of 25 mathematical problems with solution strategies, designed to challenge as well as to teach the reader to become a better problem solver. The problems represent the areas of arithmetic, geometry, algebra, number theory, and logic. The book is intended for students in grades 6-12. Problem-mathics contains two sections. In Section I the 25 challenge problems are presented in situational contxts. Section II contains the extensive problem analyses.
This is an excellent new text, which meets the A-level requirements of Statistics as a subject in its own right and as a part of Mathematics. It is also a very thorough introduction to the subject for students in higher education who need a grounding in Statistics related to other disciplines. The book is written in a friendly style, with lively text, interesting contexts, and potted biographies of significant mathematicians. It includes a huge number of worked examples and exercises, and over 80 projects, which give students the confidence to put theory into practice.
