Despite the fact that these are my “class notes”, they should be accessible to anyone wanting to learn Algebra or needing a refresher for algebra. I’ve tried to make the notes as self contained as possible and do not reference any book. However, they do assume that you’ve had some exposure to the basics of algebra at some point prior to this. While there is some review of exponents, factoring and graphing it is assumed that not a lot of review will be needed to remind you how these topics work.
