Need some serious help solving equations? Totally frustrated by polynomials, parabolas and that dreaded little x? THE MATH DUDE IS HERE TO HELP!Jason Marshall, popular podcast host known to his fans as The Math Dude, understands that algebra can cause agony. But he's determined to show you that you can solve those confusing, scream-inducing math problems--and it won't be as hard as you think! Jason kicks things off with a basic-training boot camp to help you review the essential math you'll need to truly "get" algebra. The basics covered, you'll be ready to tackle the concepts that make up the core of algebra. You'll get step-by-step instructions and tutorials to help you finally understand the problems that stump you the most, including loads of tips on:- Working with fractions, decimals, exponents, radicals, functions, polynomials and more- Solving all kinds of equations, from basic linear problems to the quadratic formula and beyond- Using graphs and understanding why they make solving complex algebra problems easierLearning algebra doesn't have to be a form of torture, and with The Math Dude's Quick and Dirty Guide to Algebra, it won't be. Packed with tons of fun features including "secret agent math-libs," and "math brain games," and full of quick and dirty tips that get right to the point, this book will have even the biggest math-o-phobes basking in a-ha moments and truly understanding algebra in a way that will stick for years (and tests) to come. Whether you're a student who needs help passing algebra class, a parent who wants to help their child meet that goal, or somebody who wants to brush up on their algebra skills for a new job or maybe even just for fun, look no further. Sit back, relax, and let this guide take you on a trip through the world of algebra.

During a course, you can get real-time help with Live Math Tutoring. We have one-on-one sessions conducted by trained tutors through live chat available 24/7. Our tutors use an interactive whiteboard to demonstrate math concepts for you. This service is available in select math courses and is accessible directly from the classroom.
We offer degree paths with math courses relating to specific programs so you can learn math that matters to you, in your chosen field. This allows you to not just meet degree requirements, but to also focus your education around skills that are useful in your work life.
The Math Support Club is open every Tuesday and Thursday from 3 to 4pm in the Media Center. Math teachers and peer tutors are available to help students with questions from class or homework. We invite students to form small study groups with other students in the same math course and to use the Math Support Club as their meeting place.
I love Math Dude videos. Mike DeGraba is Math Dude. Like Superman, Math Dude is just a regular guy with regular problems, and super problem solving powers. He connects well with students and speaks plainly while still using rich math vocabulary.
Math Dude made a series of videos covering all the Algebra 1 topics common to most classrooms. Many of these standards have been moved down to 8th grade math or Pre-algebra with the introduction of Common Core. These Math Dude videos begin with solving one-step equations and end with solving exponential and quadratic functions. The technology is a bit dated, but I use EdPuzzle in conjunction with Math Dude videos to create an interactive lesson for my students. I also link students to Math Dude videos when my students are absent due to illness, class activity, or family vacation.
Dell's "Dell Exchange" program is coming under fire from environmentalists and civil rights advocates who say that Dell's use of prison labor to recycle computers is inhumane, and a "sham." Under the program, computer owners can execute a number of options to get value out of their aging systems, including auctioning them off, trading them in for upgrades, or donating their boxen to charities. Or, if your box is aged enough, you can ship your system to Dell for recycling (at your own cost, mind you) and 4-6 weeks later they'll send you a coupon for 10% off anything in their software & peripherals store. Considering the cost of shipping, you'd need to be buying a pretty hefty item to offset the shipping cost, but if you're willing to do the math, it might be a good deal.
