This is NOT a beginning algebra course. Students are expected to be knowledgable in basic algebra skills and concepts. The text includes many, many opportunities for learning. Each chapter begins with a recommended review and ends with a concise review of concepts covered. Numerous examples are completely worked out in the text and on-line help is available at internet web sites.

EMERGENCY EVACUATION PROCEDURE: A map of this floor is posted near the elevator marking the evacuation route and the Designated Rescue Area. This is an area where emergency service personnel will go first to look for individuals who need assistance in exiting the building. Students who may need assistance should identify themselves to the teaching faculty.
