Professor Kinney, thank you for an excellent video/lecture on Algebra Practice Problems and Solutions for Placement Exam for Calculus One and Precalculus. This first set of problems is simple to follow and understand, however for a first-year college student problem solving is the key to understanding Mathematics. Without Mathematics, students will struggle in Science and Engineering. This is an error free video/lecture on YouTube.
