Author: Steven M. Kahn
Algebra: Plain and Simple (MAT 0993) by Steven M. Kahn is a lightweight 211‑page paperback designed as an introductory resource for foundational algebra. Likely published around 2008–2012, it’s used in remedial math contexts at Wayne State University. The focus is on demystifying basic operations, fractions, equations, and core algebra with simple, accessible explanations. It isn’t widely distributed commercially, and digital versions seem rare.
