Algebra for quantity surveying students
This is the beginning of a handout suitable for motivating quantity surveying students to study algebra as RICS appears to wants them to do. It is very much work in progress so expansion, correcting and improvement would be most welcome. There is more about this in my FETLAR blog at http://stack.bham.ac.uk/blog/index.php?userid=385&courseid=14 (login needed); I will repeat this blog entry in the JORUM Community Bay some time soon.
