The history of alligation problems as a part of the mathematics curriculum is briefly reviewed, and the non-unique nature of the solutions to many problems is discussed. (SD)

The sixteen chapters of this book provide the core material for the Elements of Mathematics Program, a secondary sequence developed for highly motivated students with strong verbal abilities. The sequence is based on a functional-relational approach to mathematics teaching, and emphasizes teaching by analysis of real-life situations. This text is…
