Systemsof Equations The graphof a linearequationis a lineif the equationhastwovariables and a plane if the equationhas three variables. A systemof linear equations is a setofsuchequations considered atthe sametime. Thehistoryof systemsof linearequationshada ratherunusualbeginning-itstartedon the backof a turtle.Accordingto ancientChinesetraditiona turtle carrieda specialsquarefromthe riverLo to a man. Hereis thesquare. Sucha squareiscalleda magicsquarebecause thethreenumbersin everyrow,columnanddiagonal addup to 15. TheChinesewereespecially fondof patterns,so it is notsurprising that they wouldbe intriguedby magicsquares.About250 e.c.a book calledNineChapterson theMathematicalArf devotedoneentiresection to constructing them. lt involvedthreelinearequations, markingthefirst timein historythata systemof linearequationswas everencountered. Chinesemathematicians continuedto developand refine techniquesfor solvingsystemsof linearequations.The peakof this development occurredin 1303r0. withthepublication of a mathematics book havingthe unlikelylitle PreciousMirrorof the FourElements.lt describeda methodfor solvingsystemsof four equationswhose unknownswerecalledheaven,earth,manand matter. The resultsof theseChineseadvancesremainedunknownin the West.Duringthe earlypanofthe19thcenturytheGerman mathematician KarlGauss('1777-1855) introduced an effectivemethodfor solvingsuch systems.lt was modifiedslightlyby Jordan,andtodaythe procedure is calledGauss-Jordan elimination. Whois Jordan? Forovera centurythe nameJordanwasassumedto be a tributeto theFrenchmathematician CamilleJordan(1838-1922). it was However discoveredin 1986that the methodwas actuallydue to the German geodesist WilhelmJordan(1841-1899). On the coverof this book you see the legendaryChineseturtle emergingfromthe riverLo witha magicsquareon its back. Thepattern on the turtle'sbackrepresents the magicsquareshownabove.

Division like 9 + 0 haveno answer,because neverdivideby 0. Otherproblems, like 10- 3, do nothaveanswerswhichareintegers. To solveproblems like 10 + 3 we needa newclassof numberscalledrationalnumbers. Rationalnumbersare numberswhichcan be writtenas fractions.The numerator(top number)anddenominator(bottomnumber)of a fractionmustbe integersandthe maynotbe 0. denominator

NumberLines In Book1 we usednumberlinesto helpus thinkaboutaddingand multiplying integers. Thefootballfieldwasa kindof numberline. Rulersandthescaleson thermometers are alsonumberlines. To makea numberlinewe drawa lineanddivideit intosections of equallengthcalled units. Thenwe numberthe pointswhichseparate the units.Herearethreenumberlines:

Inequalities In Book3 we workedwithequations.Rememberthat an equationis a sentenceabout numbersbeingequal,liker + -4 = 5. Anotherkindof sentenceis an inequality- a sentenceaboutnumbersbeingunequal. Herearetwo examplesof inequalities: utr+ -4 is less x + -4 <5 means than5." "x +'4 is greater x+-4>5 means than5."

Sometimes we combine twosymbols to makea newsymbol.Thesymbol< means "islessthanor equal > means"isgreater to." Andthesymbot thanor equalto." sentences usingthesecombined symbols arealsoinequalities. r+-4<5

means

x+-4>5

means

"tr+ -4 rs /essthan or equallo 5." "x,+ -4 is greater thanor equalto 5."
