About the Author
Mary Jane Sterling is the author of many For Dummies products, including Algebra I, Algebra II, Math Word Problems, Business Math, Linear Algebra, Finite Math, and Pre-Calculus. She is currently in a not-really-retired state, after forty-plus years of teaching mathematics. She loves sharing math-related topics through workshops and Zoom sessions to school-aged through senior audiences. She and her husband, Ted, enjoy spending their leisure time with their children and grandchildren, traveling, and seeking out new adventures.
Dedication
I want to dedicate Algebra I All-In-One to all the doctors, nurses, hospital aides, and other healthcare workers who are getting us through this very challenging time. Bless you for all your hard work and dedication.
