The following videos constitute a brief review of elementary algebra. It is meant for students that have already taken elementary algebra at a community college or have taken its equivalent in high school. If you do not use it often, it is easy to forget but many students only need to be shown again some of the steps to bring back the material. The videos can also be used to see the areas you need further study so that you can make more effective usage of your time. Once you view the videos, please drop me an email letting me know if you found them useful or if you have any suggestions for improvement. Good luck and happy learning.
