This book is an introduction to basic mathematics and is intended for students who need to reach the minimum level of mathematics required for their sciences, engineering and business studies. It begins by reviewing mathematical ideas usually encountered in early high school, such as fractions, algebra and solving equations. We then build on that base by introducing simultaneous equations, powers, exponentials and logarithms; quadratic equations; functions and their graphs. We finish with a brief introduction to calculus.
