Old TestsUp to this course, the primary objective of your study of algebra
has been to learn symbols, definitions and operations in algebra. We
will introduce a few more definitions, symbols and operations in this
course, specifically: function notation, operations on functions,
exponential and logarithmic functions. But we also examine new ideas
algebra was used to discover or examine more thoroughly: the
Fundamental Theorem of Algebra and it's applications to solving
polynomial equations.
In spite of all this exciting new content, the prevailing objective
of this as well as any other math course is to learn the language of
math, which requires working lots of problems requiring use of new
concepts and lots of old algebra. This course has been designed to
engage you adequately in the material to accomplish this objective.
We hope you enjoy it.
At this point in time, Nicholson's section of this course is available only online.
You will watch the lectures on the CD. Each lecture will have a corresponding textbook homework and online homework. Textbook homework will not be turned in. Worked out solutions to these problems will be available on this web page soon.
The online homework will be for credit, it will be submitted online and graded automatically. There will be an online discussion session for those with questions or comments about the homework assignment on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6 to 8 PM. Other discussions will be hosted by students in this class and announced on the web site once they are organized. Homework assignments are due Wednesday and Monday nights at midnight.
