Each college sets its own credit-granting policies for the exam, so check with your college admissions office, test center, or academic adviser before taking the test.
This course covers topics such as complex numbers, algebraic operations, equations and inequalities, and properties of functions and their graphs.[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”26244″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_empty_space height=”55px”][vc_column_text]DSSTPrep is endorsed by and is an Official Test Prep Provider for Prometric/DSST Credit-by-Exam Program[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”26372″ img_size=”large”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_cta h2=”We stand behind our courses with a money-back guarantee!” txt_align=”center” color=”white” add_button=”bottom” btn_title=”View Guarantee” btn_align=”center” add_icon=”top” i_icon_fontawesome=”fas fa-laptop-code” i_color=”custom” i_background_style=”rounded” i_background_color=”custom” i_size=”lg” css=”.vc_custom_1600961011477{background-color: #49b925 !important;}” i_custom_color=”#000000″ i_custom_background_color=”#e7e7e6″][/vc_cta][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_hoverbox image=”26229″ primary_title=”” primary_align=”justify” hover_title=”Fundamentals of College Algebra” reverse=”true”]Algebra (from Arabic: الجبر al-jabr, meaning “reunion of broken parts” and “bonesetting”) is one of the broad parts of mathematics, together with number theory, geometry and analysis. In its most general form, algebra is the study of mathematical symbols and the rules for manipulating these symbols; it is a unifying thread of almost all of mathematics. It includes everything from elementary equation solving to the study of abstractions such as groups, rings, and fields. The more basic parts of algebra are called elementary algebra; the more abstract parts are called abstract algebra or modern algebra. Elementary algebra is generally considered to be essential for any study of mathematics, science, or engineering, as well as such applications as medicine and economics. Abstract algebra is a major area in advanced mathematics, studied primarily by professional mathematicians.*
