Distance Learning
Welcome to the website for my distance learning College Algebra course.
(I suggest you bookmark this page)
Warning: I am still polishing this up a bit; if you see any mention of "Elementary Algebra" or MATD 0370, please drop me an email and let me know what page you found it on. (I have been converting things over from my Elementary Algebra course.) If you come across something that doesn't seem to make sense or seems incomplete, please let me know as well. I am still making changes to the test reviews and the homework assignments and making a few other changes, but I plan to have everything set by the first day of class.
