What this needs
Learn these first — this section will not make sense without them.
Nothing in the algebra book is a prerequisite for this section.
What this touches
Algebra that turns up here. Not a blocker, but this is where you will see it used.
Reading a phase diagram is reading coordinates on a plane subdivided into labeled regions by curves — ‘50 kPa and −10 °C falls in the ice region’ is the same skill as locating an ordered pair relative to graphed boundary curves, just with pressure and temperature standing in for y and x.
