This book deals with algebra at the high-school and the college-freshman level. The first few chapters are devoted to understanding numbers and thus cover elementary counting -- material for grades 1 to 5 -- but the subject is treated in an adult fashion. The book starts at the very beginning of counting and covers everything in elementary algebra, including a few topics that most booksomit. For example the text includes a thorough treatment of the summation symbol and discusses the Peano axioms.Presented in five volumes, this work provides a thorough explanation of the notation of summation, some unusual material on inequalities, an extended treatment of mathematical induction, and basic probability theory (including the explanation that all gambling systems must fail).
