Algebra 2

(한국어 설명

iSabio presents a new way to thoroughly learn the intricacies of algebra 2.

With the aid of a variety of technological resources, algebra 2 is no longer a comatose class that requires memorization of discriminants, matrices, and conics, but a completely illustrated course designed to help promote the natural understanding of mathematics and its principles.

Dr. James Choi utilizes his extensive knowledge in the field of mathematics to create an engaging learning experience complete with colorful images, graphs, charts, animations, and annotation as well as the great capacity of the most powerful mathematics software in the world, Mathematica®.

Lecturer:  James Choi, Ph.D.

Course Format:

iSabio’s algebra 2 course comes in DVD-ROM format with about 30 hours of lecture time, complete with engaging visuals, crystal clear explanations, and a wealth of practice problems that are carefully explained and systematically solved. iSabio also ensures that no student is left without expert assistance in his or her studies. Using the interactive online discussion forum, students are able to post any question regarding the lectures. Students can post diagrams, formulas, and even scanned images they have questions about. iSabio guarantees a satisfactory answer from one of our most qualified teachers within 48 hours of its posting so that no student is left behind.

Textbook:

The iSabio Algebra 2 course can be used with College Algebra (Lial/Hornsby/Schneider Series) ISBN 0321227573. This book can be purchased from any vendor. It offers additional exercises and problems students can work on to hone their skills outside of viewing the interactive modules.

The book is not included with the purchase of the DVD-ROM.

Question and Answer Forum:

Students' questions will be answered on this forum  http://iSabio.com/Questions/Algebra2.  General questions about the course can be answered here. 

Purchasing:

This course is available in 90-day, 395-day, and permanent licenses, depending on the student’s individual needs.  We also strongly recommend Mathematica software to learn Algebra 2 fully.  Dr. Choi uses Mathematica to illustrate many concepts, and offers the Mathematica code for the students to try themselves.  iSabio offers many Mathematica courses.  Please check our Research Courses section for more Mathematica courses.

Please note the following before making a purchase:

Important Note: This course was created independently from any textbook.  As a result, the course does not follow the book and there are several mismatches (topic in e-Learning not covered in the book and vice versa) in some details.  These details are indeed details and they won't affect the student's mastery of Algebra 2.  In addition, we provide a map that will connect the lectures to the textbook, and textbook to the lectures so that the students can navigate this course easily.

Many motivated students have successfully used this e-Learning to learn Algebra 2 very well and have praised it highly.  We confidently recommend this course only to the driven students.

Mathematica: You will need to have Mathematica software to understand the lectures fully.  Mathematica can be purchased from this site.

Computer readiness and configuration: Because of DRM (Digital Rights Management), this e-Learning will work only on Windows XP and Vista.  It will not work on Mac or Linux.  Also, your computer must be configured to run.  Here is a test/configuration page: DRM Configuration. Please purchase the course only after completing the test and configuration.

How is iSabio different?

iSabio’s innovative e-learning format allows students to visit and re-visit difficult concepts at their leisure, completely erasing any embarrassment of having to ask a teacher to explain a concept more than once. In addition, students are able to quickly review content from any part of the course with the mere click of a mouse, removing all the tediousness of studying and trying to re-learn material from a dry textbook. Studying for exams can be engaging and even fun, as students find themselves actually understanding material better as they go back to review it rather than forgetting how they originally learned the concepts. E-learning technology allows for a versatility that simply cannot be matched in the classroom, where teachers have limited time and are unable to meet every student’s individual needs. In this way, iSabio delivers what no teacher ever could. Through this novel approach to studying and understanding mathematics, students can gain solid foundations that will support the rest of their careers in mathematics.
