Understanding what an equation means is an essential step toward forming an effective strategy to solve it, and it also lays the foundation for a more successful and fulfilling work experience. Thinking About Equations provides an accessible guide to developing an intuitive understanding of mathematical methods and, at the same time, presents a number of practical mathemMathematical analysisPhysical sciencesMathematicsEngineering mathematicsElectronic books.Mathematical analysis.Physical sciencesMathematics.Engineering mathematics.510.2462515Bernstein Matt A854343Friedman William A(William Alan)142263MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910143084503321Thinking about equations1907779UNINA
