Course Description: 

The concepts studied in college algebra form a bedrock for a deeper understanding of mathematics. Throughout this course, students will develop their critical thinking skills as they analyze and devise solutions to problems relevant to this level of mathematics. In this course, students will become familiar with the properties of various basic functions, such as polynomials, rational expressions, radicals, logarithmic, and exponentials. Students will study various strategies for identifying the roots of different functions in detail. Students will discuss graphing techniques. Students will be able to identify exponential and logarithmic functions and become familiar with their applications.
