Free Online Course: College Algebra provided by Udacity is a comprehensive online course, which lasts for 16 weeks long. The course is taught in English and is free of charge. College Algebra is taught by Julie Sliva Spitzer and Miriam Swords Kalk.

Overview
  • Math is everywhere. In this class, you’ll gain an in-depth understanding of algebraic principles, many of which you may have seen before, and learn how to use them to solve problems that we encounter in everyday life. The online version of College Algebra will cover all of the topics that you would see in more traditional class formats, but it will present the material in a way that we hope you’ll find fresh and interesting. You will learn about functions, polynomials, graphing, complex numbers, exponential and logarithmic equations, and much more, all through exploring real-world scenarios.
