Each Number Power book targets a particular set of math skills with straightforward explanations, easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions, real-life examples, and extensive reinforcement exercises.

Exponentiation, raising a number to a power, is usually the next mathematical operation that students learn about after mastering addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. This book is principally about exponentiation and performing mathematical operations on expressions that involve exponents. Additionally, the book introduces surds such as square roots, and explains how to perform common mathematical operations involving such surds. In this book, among other things, you will learn: * How exponents are pronounced * The meanings of the words base, exponent, index (plural: indices), and exponentiation * How to multiply numbers and algebraic symbols with exponents * How to divide numbers and algebraic symbols with exponents * How to raise numbers and algebraic symbols with exponents to a power * How multiplications and divisions involving different base numbers with exponents can sometimes be simplified * How to solve problems with fractional exponents * What are surds * How to perform arithmetic on expressions that contain surds * How to simplify surds and expressions containing surds * How to expand brackets when surds are involved * How to simplify fractions containing surds including "rationalizing the denominator"

The images in this book are in color. For a less-expensive grayscale paperback version, see ISBN 9781680923254. Prealgebra 2e is designed to meet scope and sequence requirements for a one-semester prealgebra course. The text introduces the fundamental concepts of algebra while addressing the needs of students with diverse backgrounds and learning styles. Each topic builds upon previously developed material to demonstrate the cohesiveness and structure of mathematics. Students who are taking basic mathematics and prealgebra classes in college present a unique set of challenges. Many students in these classes have been unsuccessful in their prior math classes. They may think they know some math, but their core knowledge is full of holes. Furthermore, these students need to learn much more than the course content. They need to learn study skills, time management, and how to deal with math anxiety. Some students lack basic reading and arithmetic skills. The organization of Prealgebra makes it easy to adapt the book to suit a variety of course syllabi.
