This course is designed to meet the needs of the Adult Degree Program and Distance Education students at Southwestern Adventist University. The structure has been adapted for the distance education environment from an on-campus course.  The mathematics you will be studying is the same as and the assignments and tests are virtually identical to the grading opportunities students attending classes at Southwestern Adventist University find. I wish you the best success as you study this material.  May you find this mathematics interesting and enjoyable!  If I can, as a teacher, help you in successfully completing the requirements and earning a great grade, then I am more than happy to work with you towards that end.
