Synopsis:

This book, published as the second book of ‘Praner Majhe Gonit Baje‘ series, is an adaptation of the Yakov Perelman‘s Algebra Can be Fun. It is wriiten for those who have studied or still studying junior and high school algebra without a clue as to why one studies algebra at all! Unlike the first book of the aforementioned series, this one follows a problem-based approach with an emphasis on problem-solving strategies. Also, this book is quite helpful in eliminating several common misconceptions of algebra. Bangladesh Math Olympiad Committee has enlisted this book as a pre-requisite text of preparatory classes for competitive math exams.
