Help please: need lessons on matrices, quadratics, eqns, etc

[yoda]

I am currently enrolled in an independant study for honors agrbra 2 (because I couldn't fit the class into my schedual). The book doesnt always give very good descriptions, and considering I have to teach myself, it leaves me confused more often than not. I go in to talk to my teacher about the material a lot, but I dont always get it. Can anyone please tell me some sites with good lessons? I would be eternally grateful!

You must spell out the topics whit which you need help.

matrices, quadratic equasions, parabolas, linear systems, polynomial and radical functions, logarithmic functions... i know its a lot, but i really would apreciate the help!

I don't know that many sites would have lessons on all of these topics. You might want to try doing a search for each topic individually...? This would allow you to narrow your searches a bit.

For instance, regarding matrices, you could study definitions, or row operations, or determinants, or inversions, or multiplication, or addition, etc. Each would probably be its own lesson.

Hi,

Last year i found the site http://tutorial.math.lamar.edu to study advanced calculus and linear algebra, and it really helped me a lot to deal with these lectures. You can go there and check class notes out there. Besides, you can get use of the book provided here : http://www.numbertheory.org/book/mp103.pdf .

Good luck on your studies!

Last year i found the site http://tutorial.math.lamar.edu to study advanced calculus and linear algebra....

While the lessons on the above-referenced site, "Paul's Online Math Notes", trend more toward the upper end of college study, you will find some algebra and trig review lessons as well.

I highly recommend "Paul's Notes"!
