Students will gain proficiency in computation with rational numbers (positive and negative fractions, positive and negative decimals, whole numbers, and integers) and algebraic properties. New concepts include solving two-step equations and inequalities, graphing linear equations, simplifying algebraic expressions with exponents, i.e. monomials and polynomials, factoring, solving systems of equations, and using matrices to organize and interpret data http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=434096 This is a free, online textbook/course that teaches about complex numbers. It is a workbook that has exercises through-out, with some of the answers provided as audio files. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=555337 Highlights of Calculus is a series of short videos that introduces the basic ideas of calculus — how it works and why it is important. The intended audience is high school students, college students, or anyone who might need help understanding the subject.In addition to the videos, there are summary slides and practice problems complete with an audio narration by Professor Strang. You can find these resources to the right of each video.This resource is also available on Highlights for High School.About the InstructorProfessor Gilbert Strang is a renowned mathematics professor who has taught at MIT since 1962.

Nave for his help and advice on the development and recording of this program.The video editing was funded by the Lord Foundation of Massachusetts. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=274017 This complete course in Calculus for beginners is one of MIT's OpenCourseWare offerings. It includes nearly a dozen Java applets to illustrate some of the concepts covered; there is a corresponding set of Flash applets with accompanying audio. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=602672 This free and open online course in Calculus 1 was produced by the WA State Board for Community & Technical Colleges [http://sbctc.edu].Calculus is the mathematics of CHANGE and almost everything in our world is changing.Calculus is among the most important and useful developments of human thought, and, even though it is over 300 years old, it is still considered the beginning and cornerstone of modern mathematics. It is a wonderful and beautiful and useful set of ideas and techniques You will see the fundamental ideas of this course over and over again in future courses in mathematics, the sciences (physical, biological and social) as well as in economics, engineering and others.But calculus is an intellectual step up from your previous mathematics courses. Many of the ideas are more carefully defined, and they have both a functional and a graphical meaning Some of the algorithms are more complicated, and in many cases you will need to decide on the appropriate algorithm to use. And there is a huge variety of applications, too many to be able to discuss each one in class in detail.This module is part of the Open Course Library, a collection of shareable course materials created for faculty to use in their classes.

Objects studied in finite mathematics are largely countable sets such as integers, finite graphs, and formal languages. Concepts and notations from discrete mathematics are useful to study or describe objects or problems in computer algorithms and programming languages.״At this point only one of the planned 15 modules is currently available, that on Groups. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=358583 This CSET test preparation course covers the following topics:TrigonometryLimits and ContinuityDerivatives and ApplicationIntegrals and ApplicationsSequences and SeriesThe University of California, Irvine Extension, supported by generous grants from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation and The Boeing Company, is developing online courses to prepare science and mathematics teachers for the California Subject Examinations for Teachers (CSET).The courses address the urgent need to help teachers prepare for and pass the CSET exams necessary to teach science and mathematics in California Schools.UC Irvine Extension's online test-preparation courses correspond with the 10 CSET science subtests and three CSET mathematics subtests.
