About This Course and Textbook

Elementary Algebra (Math 0990) builds concepts and skills in preparation for student success in Intermediate Algebra (Math 1010). However, not all students need to take Math 1010. It is, therefore, recommended that you talk to your Program Advisor before taking this course. They can help you verify whether or not this is a course you need to take. 

Course content includes basic solving equations & inequalities, graphing, solving systems of equations & inequalities, exponents, polynomials, factoring, radicals, and non-linear functions.  With an OER text, aligned OER videos, and complete online assessments, this title is a great low-cost alternative to traditional publisher materials.

This text has been remixed from Beginning Algebra by Monterey Institute of Technology and Education and David Lippman.
