Foundations of Algebra: Theory and Practice for Beginners

Many students struggle when transitioning from arithmetic to the abstract concepts of algebra. This course provides a structured, foundational path to understanding algebraic theory, enabling you to confidently manipulate variables, solve equations, and interpret mathematical relationships. What you'll learn: * Understand the fundamental properties of real numbers and algebraic expressions. * Master techniques for solving linear equations and multi-step inequalities. * Apply the rules of exponents and polynomials for simplification and factoring. * Learn to graph linear functions and interpret concepts like slope and intercepts. * Practice solving systems of linear equations using substitution and elimination. The course begins by defining key terminology and number properties, then systematically builds your knowledge through dedicated modules covering equations, inequalities, functions, and polynomials. By focusing on both theoretical understanding and practical application, you will develop strong problem-solving skills. This course is designed for absolute beginners or anyone needing a solid review of foundational Algebra; no prior mathematical knowledge beyond basic arithmetic is required.
