After completing the course students are expected to be able to:
1. Solve linear equations in one variable and systems of linear equations in two variables.
2. Solve linear inequalities in one variable.
3. Carry out operations involving polynomials, to factor polynomials and to solve polynomial equations.
4. Carry out operations involving rational expressions and to solve rational expression equations.
5. Sketch the graph of a linear equation.
