Department description [edit]
The intention of the department of college algebra is to formalize the algebra that a student may or may not have learned in a previous school or for those coming back to mathematics after an extended absence so that they can confidently apply that algebra to other university-level courses. This is the introductory point for a prospective math or science student with a high school education.
Department news [edit]
- Monday, August 21, 2006 - Department founded!
Learning materials and learning projects [edit]
Wikiversity has adopted the "learning by doing" model for education. Lessons should center on learning activities for Wikiversity participants. Learning materials and learning projects can be used by multiple departments. Cooperate with other departments that use the same learning resource.
Learning materials and learning projects are located in the main Wikiversity namespace. Simply make a link to the name of the lesson (lessons are independent pages in the main namespace) and start writing!
Offsite Learning Materials [edit]
Recommended Reading Material [edit]
The following books contain motivational works by mathematicians that put mathematics into context or exercises that illuminate the study of mathematics that are accessible to someone with a high school education. While this site provides a supportive community of peers and teachers, nothing beats having a well-organized and well-written text that you can carry around and study anywhere to learn from.

Active participants [edit]
The histories of Wikiversity pages indicate who the active participants are. If you are an active participant in this department, you can list your name here (this can help small departments grow and the participants communicate better; for large departments a list of active participants is not needed).
