description: The book extends the high school curriculum and provides a backdrop for later study in calculus modern algebra numerical analysis and complex variable theory. Exercises introduce many techniques and topics in the theory of equations such as evolution and factorization of polynomials solution of equations interpolation approximation and congruences. The theory is not treated formally but rather illustrated through examples. Over 300 problems drawn from journals contests and examinations test understanding ingenuity and skill. Each chapter ends with a list of hints; there are answers to many of the exercises and solutions to all of the problems. In addition 69 explorations invite the reader to investigate research problems and related topics.
