Overview
This online college algebra course equips you with the skills to effectively solve problems using algebraic reasoning. What sets this course apart from a standard algebra course is its strong emphasis on the techniques that are used to solve problems. Throughout this course, you will be able to participate in discussions with other students and the professor to help build your conceptual understanding of algebra. In this course, you will learn about systems of linear equations, rational functions, quadratic functions, logarithmic functions, general polynomial functions, and exponential functions.
Additionally, our college algebra online course uses cutting-edge adaptive technology (the ALEKS learning system). ALEKS is a personalized math tutor that will help you learn each of the skills in our course at your own pace. Our goal is to reduce your “math anxiety” and ensure you walk away feeling confident about math. This online college algebra course — offered as on-demand or session-based — equips you with the skills to effectively solve problems using algebraic reasoning.
