Welcome to The Shapes of Algebra. With our linear tool kit intact we will begin investigating basic algebraic concepts. This week we will work with inequalities. Many mathematicians believe that inequalities are the heart of mathematics. In this weeks investigation you will explore the utility and power of inequalities, using equations, graphs and even the "good old" number line to represent problem solutions.
Please remember to turn in assignments timely for full credit.
