MATH 1100 - Algebra I

Designed to sharpen algebra skills and concepts, and strengthen analytical thinking. Topics include: arithmetic foundations of algebra, properties of real numbers, linear equations and inequalities, systems of linear equations expressions, equivalent linear expressions, and function sense.

Students find patterns, make conjectures, and judge the validity of given conjectures.
