-Prime vs. No Solution
-The All-LCD Method
-Cross-Multiplying vs. Cross Cancelling
-Solving Rational Equations & Extraneous Solutions
-List of Common Radical Fingerprints
-Manipulating & Simplifying Radicals
-The Two Meanings of "Cancelling Out"
-What Does "Error" on a Calculator Mean?
-Scientific Notation on Your Calculator
-FMMs (Frequently Made Mistakes)

This book contains:
-Step-by-Step Instructions
-Annotated Examples
-Detailed Descriptions
-Hyperlinks for quick and easy topic jumping (eBook only)

And:
-will help you process what you see and hear
