Читать книгу Algebra I All-in-One For Dummies - Mary Jane Sterling, Mary Sterling Jane - Страница 41

Operations in algebra are nothing like operations in hospitals. Well, you get to dissect things in both, but dissecting numbers is a whole lot easier (and a lot less messy) than dissecting things in a hospital.

Algebra is just a way of generalizing arithmetic, so the operations and rules used in arithmetic work the same for algebra. Some new operations do crop up in algebra, though, just to make things more interesting than adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing. I introduce three of those new operations after explaining the difference between a binary operation and a nonbinary operation.
