- Objectives
This module is from Elementary Algebra by Denny Burzynski and Wade Ellis, Jr.
The symbols, notations, and properties of numbers that form the basis of algebra, as well as exponents and the rules of exponents, are introduced in this chapter. Each property of real numbers and the rules of exponents are expressed both symbolically and literally. Literal explanations are included because symbolic explanations alone may be difficult for a student to interpret.This module contains the objectives of the chapter "Basic Properties of Real Numbers".
