Abstract

At first encounter, inequalities tend to unsettle students. Possibly this is because they have gotten used to studying equalities and exact relations. Now all of a sudden they are faced with approximations and inexact relations. Moreover, there is no longer a unique, correct answer to a question! This fact alone can seriously unsettle many students.
