Learn or improve skills in basic algebra concepts and problem-solving techniques. Study relationships, models, and theories that can be expressed quantitatively -- often in algebraic form. Understand quantitative arguments and methods such as those used in the social sciences, business, and other areas; learn to use algebraic symbols actively -- to formulate verbal problems in algebraic form, to manipulate algebraic expressions, and to solve algebraic equations.

Develop a solid basis for further study in mathematics, statistics, finance, science, and other quantitative areas. Facility with arithmetic of whole numbers, fractions, and decimals is assumed.
