Description
This course will teach you the key fundamentals of Algebra. The biggest problem that students face when studying more in-depth mathematical topics such as calculus is not fully understanding the basics and having gaps in their knowledge. This leads to further problems down the track. This course will ensure you master the key ideas, fill in those gaps and set yourself up for future success. Upon completion of this course, you will be ready to take on more advanced topics such as algebra 2, Trigonometry and Calculus.Section 2 starts right at the beginning and introduces key concepts and core skills such as expanding, factorising and performing operations with algebraic fractions. Section 3 builds on section 2 and teaches you the techniques to solve a variety of algebraic equations. These included linear, quadratic, non-monic quadratic, logarithmic, indicial and exponential equations.How to get the most out of this courseThis course is broken up into small individual sections designed to help you learn exactly what you need to know. The expertly crafted learning videos are designed to maximize your time. View the tutorial video and follow along. Pause and take notes as needed. After each of the tutorial videos you will find a ‘check of understanding’ which consists of 5 questions that relate to the material covered in the video/s. Complete the questions and check your Answers with the worked solutions so you can see how you are progressing.Happy learning!
