Your Algebra Homework Can Now Be Easier Than Ever!

Math 1000 Series

There are three formats of Math 1000 Series , which includes Math 1000, Math 1001/1002 and Math
1003/1004. All formats have the same course title, Algebra for College Students, and require mastery of
the same college-level content.

Math 1000 is a fast-paced course (3 hours/week) in one semester, and it is designed for students who
satisfy the following:

1. They are very comfortable with basic college algebra content.
2. They just had an algebra course in the previous year .
3. They can work independently on most algebra topics.
4. They are prepared to handle a fast moving course (two sections in one class meeting).

Students who do not satisfy these four conditions are advised to switch to Math 1001/2.
Math 1001/2 is a slow-paced course (6 hours/week) in one semester.

3. Prerequisite None

5. Course Objectives
Math 1000 is designed to enhance students’ cognitive skills, problem solving techniques and
intellectual flexibility.
