Simplified Mathematics: A Book for High Schools and Colleges

This book serves as a valuable asset to students in high schools or secondary schools. It is a useful tool for students who are preparing for entrance examinations into colleges and universities. Students in the higher institutions taking 'lighter' courses in mathematics will also find this maths book useful, especially when there is need for improved mathematical foundation for such students.The step by step explanations presented in the numerous worked examples are easy to understand since care was taken to sufficiently explain salient points and mathematical ideas.Numerous exercises at the end of each chapter are intended to test students' understanding of the topic. Therefore students are thus presented with an effective means of self-assessment whereby they can determine their individual strengths and revision needs. Answers to the exercises are provided at the end of the book.
In this textbook you will learn:

• Linear equation and equations with fractions
• Number bases
• Standard forms and approximations
• Laws of indices
• Laws and theories of logarithms
• Modular arithmetic
• Change of subject of formulae and variation
• Percentage error
• Sequence
• Arithmetic progression and series
• Geometric progression and series
