Material Detail

This is a free online course offered by the Saylor Foundation.

'In this course, you will study basic algebraic operations and concepts, as well as the structure and use of algebra.  This includes the solutions to algebraic equations, factoring algebraic expressions, working with rational expressions, and graphing of linear equations.  You will apply these skills to solve real world problems (word problems).  Each unit will have its own application problems, depending on the concepts you have been exposed to.  This course is also intended to provide you with a strong foundation for intermediate algebra and beyond.

This course will begin with a review of some math concepts formed in pre-algebra, such as order of operations and simplifying simple algebraic expressions to get your feet wet.  You will then build on these concepts by learning more about functions, graphing of functions, evaluation of functions, and factorization.  You will spend time on the rules of exponents and their applications in distribution of multiplication over addition/subtraction.'
