This is an instruction system for a second course in Algebra. It is designed for students in grades 8 and above who have successfully completed a Beginning Algebra course. The instruction addresses all topics of Elementary Algebra. Topics include: graphing on the xy-plane, the use of integer exponents, operations on polynomials, and solving quadratic equations.

Every objective in the course is thoroughly explained and developed. Numerous examples illustrate every concept and procedure. Student involvement is guaranteed as the presentation invites the student to work through partial examples. Each unit of material ends with an exercise specifically designed to evaluate the extent to which the objectives have been learned and encourage re-study of any skills that were not mastered.

The instruction is dependent upon reasonable reading skills and conscientious study habits. With those skills and attitudes in place, the student is assured a successful experience in learning those concepts associated with Elementary Algebra.
