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 mathem 606 $aMathematical analysis 606 $aPhysical sciences$xMathematics 606 $aEngineering mathematics 615 0$aMathematical analysis. 615 0$aPhysical sciences$xMathematics. 615 0$aEngineering mathematics. 676 $a515 700 $aBernstein$b Matt A$0854343 701 $aFriedman$b William A$g(William Alan)$0142263 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910876537103321 996 $aThinking about equations$91907779 997 $aUNINA
