Simplified Algebra, Differential Calculus, Statistics and Probability

Simplified Algebra, Differential Calculus, Statistics and Probability serves as a useful companion for students in high schools, colleges and universities. This book consists of step-by-step explanation of topics presented in a way that is easy for students to understand. It contains very many worked examples and many self-assessment exercises to ensure that students get a mastery of each topic covered. The answers to the exercises are provided at the end of the book.
What makes this book a unique mathematical asset, is its detailed step by step approach in explaining the topics covered in these branch of mathematics. Instead of solving questions by going straight to the point, leaving you confused and frustrated, this textbook teaches you in simple English, explaining each step taken at a time. Thus, allowing anyone, regardless of their experience in algebra, differential calculus, statistics and probability to understand each topic with ease, and hence make mathematics more interesting.
Exercises are given at the end of each chapter for students to assess their understanding of the topics. Answers to the exercises are provided at the end of the book. This math textbook is an ideal resource for high school (secondary school), college and university students. It is also a useful book for students preparing for admission into tertiary institutions and need to take entrance tests or exams.
