Your success in College Algebra this semester is our primary concern!
We believe if you will use the materials and follow the study suggestions
outlined in the College Algebra for the Biological Sciences Learning Supplement
(CABS Learning Supplement) you will be successful; we can almost
guarantee it! Further, we believe these study materials and suggestions
provide a sound foundation for your success in your biological sciences
major and in learning mathematics in future courses.
The CABS Learning Supplement is based on the belief that all students
can master College Algebra given proper prerequisites, coursework materials,
support, and your commitment to try to learn. The CABS Learning Supplement
has been designed and developed to provide proper coursework materials from
the biological sciences to supplement the text and to provide you with guidance
and support in learning College Algebra. Ultimately, however, it depends
on your commitment to try to learn College Algebra. If you do not use the
CABS Learning Supplement and do not do the homework and do not attend class
each time it meets and do not really care to study, then no Learning Supplement,
no matter how good the materials are, can help you learn and, hence, pass
College Algebra.
The components of the CABS Learning Supplement are:
- Suggestions for How to Study Math
- Materials to Help you Use the TI-83 Graphing Calculator
- Applications from the Biological Sciences that use College Algebra
- Learning Assessment Measures (LAMs) to Help you Determine your Progress
in Learning the College Algebra
Good Luck!
