Algebra II

Algebra II is a deeply rewarding subject in its own right that goes well beyond the rudiments of signed numbers, symbols, and simple equations learned in Algebra I. These 36 engaging lectures give you the tools you need to thrive in a core skill of mathematics. An eloquent explainer of ideas, Professor Sellers shows that algebra can be an exciting intellectual adventure and not nearly as difficult as many students fear. Those who will benefit from this user-friendly approach include high-school students, home-schooled students, college students, math teachers, summer learners, and anyone curious about what underlies mathematics and science. As you solve problems with Professor Sellers, you’ll see that the ideas behind algebra – including functions, graphing, polynomials, conic sections, exponents and logarithms, and roots and radicals – are wonderfully interconnected. You’ll also learn to deploy an arsenal of formulas and theorems, including the vertical line test, the quadratic formula, the binomial theorem, and the change of base formula. This sense of ease and adventure in tackling the richly varied terrain of algebra characterizes the experience you will have with this superstar teacher and his lectures. You’ll learn to solve problems that look impossible at first glance, find that you enjoy them more than you ever thought possible, and look forward to even more challenging exploits as you continue your mathematics education.
