This course is designed to help students who need to sharpen their skills or as a resource that teachers can employ to help struggling students stay up to speed. Energetic and enthusiastic Professor Terry Caliste teaches students step-by-step to use symbolic algebra to represent situations and to solve problems, especially those that involve linear relationships. At the conclusion of this course, students will be able to write equivalent forms of equations, inequalities, and systems of equations and solve them with fluency - mentally or with paper and pencil in simple cases and using technology in all cases.
