The idea behind these "procedure-based" dynamic worksheets is to provide students the opportunity to review and practice algebra skills with problems they create, while at the same time providing a means for students to check their answers and to get a hint if needed. The hints will walk the student through the problem in a step by step manner.״ http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=672579 ״Splash Math is a fun and innovative way to practice math.

The author created the material "to prove to my students the importance of Math in their everyday lives. She created a scenario in which math never existed and designed it for her high school students, but it could also be used for lower level college classes. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=259085 This is a resource that can be used in conjunction with an Abstract Algebra class.  It contains definitions and theorems regarding abstract algebra.  Included is a Table of Contents that lists the topics such as Integers, Functions, Groups, Polynomials, Galois Theory, Unique Factorization, etc.  There is also a link to an online study guide for the topic. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=434004 This is a free online textbook designed for the Advanced Algebra instructor. According to the author, he "developed a set of in-class assignments, homework and lesson plans, that work for me and for other people who have tried them. The complete set comprises three separate books that work together:•The Homework and Activities Book contains in-class and homework assignments that are given to the students day-by-day.” “•The" target=״_blank״>http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=434004“•The Concepts Book provides conceptual explanations, and is intended as a reference or review guide for students; it is not used when teaching the class.” •The" target=״_blank״>http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=434001•The Teacher's Guide provides detailed lesson plans; it is your guide to how the author “envisioned these materials being used when I created them (and how I use them myself) " target=״_blank״>http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=434006 Instructors should note that this book probably contains more information than you will be able to cover in a single school year.” http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=437046 " Algebra for College Students is designed to be used as an intermediate level text for students who have had some prior exposure to beginning algebra in either high school or college. This text explains the why's of algebra, rather than simply expecting students to imitate examples.״Please note that this site will try to sell supplements and you must create an account.

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=437407 This is a free, online textbook that is also part of an online course. According to the author, "Analysis is the study of limits. Anything in mathematics which has limits in it uses ideas of analysis. Some of the examples which will be important in this course are sequences, infinite series, derivatives of functions, and integrals. As you know from calculus, limits are the basis of understanding integration and differentiation, and, as you also know from calculus, these things are the basis of everything in the world you could ever need to know.״ http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=672898 ״Calculator Free is a simple, functional and absolutely free calculator.״This is a free app 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.
