College Algebra Resource Guide: Films

This ten-part series presents an impressive array of real-world applications of algebra, including an analysis of the 2008 mortgage crisis, calculation of a car’s speed determined by evidence left at an accident scene, and a mathematical examination of New Guinea’s 1998 earthquake and tsunami. Each video includes graphing calculator applications that use the Texas Instruments TI-Nspire calculator, with all keystrokes clearly shown.

Although geometry involves abstract ideas, its applications are readily visible in everyday life—sometimes on a massive scale.

Using real-world examples—plus plenty of animation and graphics—this comprehensive 15-part series helps students to visualize the relationship between forces and motion through phenomena that characterize them.

Mathemedia is a comprehensive pre-algebra curriculum consisting of twelve programs focusing on key mathematical principles that apply to real-life situations.
