View LessonsA strong Algebra background is a prerequisite for further study in mathematics and science, and for students studying a wide variety of college majors, College Algebra is part of their graduation requirements. Professors teaching College Algebra assume that their students have mastered Pre-Algebra, Elementary Algebra (Algebra 1), and Intermediate Algebra (Algebra 2).
The time constraints that exist in a traditional lecture based course, make it impossible for an instructor to slow down enough to explain in detail much of the prerequisite information that is required to follow the examples in a College Algebra course. As a result, many students find themselves lost in class. They simply need more examples, more time with those examples, and a more detailed set of explanations with those examples. That is where College Algebra videos can help.
There are hundreds of traditional Algebra textbooks in print today, but it is hard for many students to read a dry Algebra textbook. Quality Algebra tutoring would be the best solution for students who need additional help, but quality Algebra tutoring is often very expensive, hard to find, and inconvenient. A comprehensive set of College Algebra videos is an affordable alternative.
Panther Algebra strives to fill the need for free, quality Algebra help, that is easily accessible. All of the College Algebra videos featured on the site are recorded in high definition. The content is neatly organized into a simple to navigate chapter structure, and our responsive website can be accessed on any device anywhere an internet connection exists. Stop wasting valuable time searching for the help you need; start using Panther Algebra today.
