<br/><br/> The book is designed for students who have had 1-2 years of high school algebra or the equivalent. However, because much of this material is forgotten due to lack of use, Chapter 0 contains a review of the basic topics in intermediate algebra that are most pertinent to the course, and portions of Appendix A review some more fundamental concepts. Any of this material can be studied systematically at the beginning of either part of the book, or referred to as needed.
