520			_a"Following the launching of Sputnik in the 1950s, mathematics went through dynamic changes that culminated in the "new math" of the 1960s. The goal of the new math was to create in the student a fundamental understanding of mathematics. But in so doing, we lost sight of the practicality of mathe lmatics, and consequently the results of that grand experiment in the new math proved to be less that expected. This renewed mathematics is the goal of our series of algebra textbooks. In this text we carefully and deliberately present exposition, examples, and problems that have a threefold purpose : (1) No-nonsense drill problems teach the students essential mathematical skills ; (2) Applied problems teach the student some of the usefulness and practicality of mathematics ; (3) Problems that actually teach the thought process to the student provide a fundamental understanding of mathematical process in a way that will enhance the student's reasoning ability, not only in mathematics, but also in nonmathematical situations requiring a reasoned conclusion.
