Description
This is a complete college level course in Algebra, hence the name College Algebra:)

Basically just,

1) Watch the videos, and try to follow along with a pencil and paper, take notes!

2) Eventually you should be able to do the problems before I do them. Try! Keep watching until you can do the problems on your own:)

3) There are assignments throughout the course. Work through these if you need more practice.

4) Repeat!

If you finish even 50% of this course you will know A LOT of College Algebra and more importantly your Algebra skills will improve a ton!

College Algebra is an awesome class because it prepares you for higher level math in a big way. To be honest, lots of higher level math like Calculus isn't even that hard, it's the ALGEBRA that makes Calculus hard! This means if you become really good at Algebra then once you get to Calculus it will be much easier!

I hope you enjoy watching these videos and working through these problems as much as I have:)

Who this course is for
Everyone!
