101 Involved Algebra Problems with Answers by Chris Mcmullen

Sharpen your algebra skills by solving 101 involved algebra problems. This book includes separate sections of answers, hints, and full solutions. Prerequisites include multiplying expressions with square roots, systems of equations, the quadratic formula, the equation for a straight line, power rules, factoring, and other standard algebra techniques. A variety of problems are included, such as:

• systems of equations (many are nonstandard, including a quadratic term or a reciprocal, for example)
• simplifying expressions or solving equations that feature square roots
• applying algebra to derive equations
• variables in the denominator
• rules for exponents
• inequalities
• the equation for a straight line
• multiplying, distributing, or factoring expressions
• applications of algebra (such as in classic physics problems)
• transformations of variables
• exposure to techniques such as completing the square, partial fractions, or separation of variables
• cross multiplying
• ratios
• rationalizing the denominator and multiplying by the conjugate

This book is NOT indented to teach algebra (though the solutions may be instructive), but is designed to offer practice with a variety of algebra skills (which most students could benefit from) for students who are familiar with the skills listed. The author, Chris McMullen, Ph.D., has over twenty years of experience teaching math skills to physics students. He prepared this workbook of the Improve Your Math Fluency series to share his strategies for solving algebra problems.

Chris McMullen is a physics professor at Louisiana's Northwestern State University. He graduated with a Ph.D. In 2002, he received his Ph.D. in phenomenological high-energy physics (particle physics) from Oklahoma State University. He got his Master's degree in the study of electron spin resonance at California State University, Northridge, where he was born and raised. His area of expertise is the Large Hadron Collider, and he has written multiple papers on the chances for discovering huge superstring-inspired additional dimensions at the LHC.

To convey his enthusiasm for the geometry and physics of the fourth dimension, Dr. McMullen created The Graphic Guide to Extra Dimensions, Volumes 1 and 2. Full-Color Illustrations of the Fourth Dimension, Volumes 1 and 2, are two volumes he authored to help demonstrate the geometry of a fourth dimension of space. When Dr. McMullen first read Rudy Rucker's introduction to the subject in high school, he was enthralled by the concept of a fourth dimension of space. He was working on his Ph.D. at the time.

When Arkani-Hamed, Dimopoulos, and Dvali published a notable technical study motivating huge superstring-inspired additional dimensions in particle physics, the concept of the fourth dimension was changed from philosophy to a scientifically plausible science. Dr. McMullen has written these books for a public readership to share his enthusiasm for the math and physics of extra dimensions. May your consideration of a fourth dimension of space boost the dimensionality of your thoughts, is one of his favorite sayings.
