In this book the author covers topics in mathematics from basic algebra through trigonometry, providing definitions, properties, theorems, terminology, notation, formulas, and examples. The author has also reserved space within the book for the student to work exercises alongside the examples provided. Thus the book functions as both a textbook and a workbook.

This book does not include an ample set of additional algebraic exercises at the end of each section and may serve a student best when used in conjunction with a separate source of sets of exercises.
