In College Algebra, students master the foundational skills of algebra in order to prepare for higher level math and science courses. This course (or a similar one) is required for most college majors (even non-math related majors). College Algebra can be a challenging course because it covers most of the concepts that were covered in Pre-algebra, Algebra, Algebra II, and a few from Geometry. The course will include the study of the most critical components of algebra, geometry, and functions.

This course focuses on the following topics:

• Linear, quadratic, polynomial, rational, exponential, and logarithmic functions
• Systems of equations
• Matrices
• Conic sections

Upon completion of this course, students should have learned to:

• Graph, analyze, and solve many different types of functions and equations including linear, polynomial, rational, exponential, and logarithmic functions
• Solve multi-variable linear systems using matrices
• Model and solve real-world problems using a variety of mathematical methods
