understandable to most students

Proga offers a comprehensive approach to teaching a student arithmetic, combined with a first course in algebra. There are copious examples to help the reader's understanding, where these examples are drawn from everyday contexts. The teaching of an introductory algebra course can be tricky. It is a level of abstraction that goes beyond simple arithmetic. Some readers will of course quickly grasp the concepts. But Proga carefully steps through the concepts at a pace that should be understandable to most readers. To be effect, perhaps, that students with maths aptitude may be able to quickly skim over many portions of the text.
