About the Author

Mary Jane Sterling is also the author of Algebra For Dummies, Trigonometry

For Dummies, Algebra II For Dummies, CliffsStudySolver Algebra I, and

CliffsStudySolver Algebra II. She taught junior high and high school math for

many years before beginning her current tenure at Bradley University in

Peoria, Illinois. Mary Jane especially enjoys working with future teachers,

doing volunteer work with her college students and fellow Kiwanians, and

sitting down with a glass of lemonade and a good murder mystery.

Dedication

I dedicate this book to my children, Jon, Jim, and Jane. Each is truly an

individual — and none seems to have any hesitation about facing the

challenges and adventures that the world has to offer. Each of them makes

my husband, Ted, and me so very proud.

Author’s Acknowledgments

I want to thank Elizabeth Kuball for being a great project editor — giving

encouragement, keeping a close watch, and making the whole project work.

A big thank-you to the technical editor, Sally Fassino, who graciously corrected

me and kept me honest; it was good to have confidence in her perusal! And

thank you to Lindsay Lefevere for spearheading this project and keeping an

eye out for me on this and other endeavors.
