About the Course

After completing this course, students will learn how to successfully apply functions to model different data and real world occurrences. This course reviews the concept of a function and then provide multiple examples of common and uncommon types of functions used in a variety of disciplines. Formulas, domains, ranges, graphs, intercepts, and fundamental behavior are all analyzed using both algebraic and analytic techniques. From this core set of functions, new functions are created by arithmetic operations and function composition. These functions are then applied to solve real world problems. The ability to picture many different types of functions will help students learn how and when to apply these functions, as well as give students the geometric intuition to understand the algebraic techniques. The skills and objectives from this course improve problem solving abilities....

This course gives the basic of the concepts of functions and gives opportunities for the student to challenge his basic understanding of functions by giving real-wrld examples of its application.

An excellent course just what I needed to understand functions better. The teacher is a pro at explaining and the exercises is perfectly put together. A thumbs up from me. Thanks:)

I still have much room for improvement, but the first two courses in the Elementary Algebra series have been a great re-introduction to key college algebra topics. I plan to continue to enroll in additional courses and continue to move forward in my mathematics training. This have been very worthwhile for me and I highly recommend these courses.

Pleas make more questions to practice that are similar to the questions on the quizes and final. The second week needs a video to explain how to apply the equations to the word probles given on the quizies and final.

I used this to review some Algebra before taking a Calculus course. This overview of functions was perfect for that purpose. For whatever reason, the algebra problems in the Johns Hopkins courses have been so beneficial for me. They really solidify my understanding of the concepts, and offers a valuable glimpse into their applications. If this is your first time going through these concepts, I'd highly recommend pairing it with other material, like Khan Academy. If you're just looking for a quick review, this course is one of the best quick overviews of algebra you're likely to find.

This course was very good and also very challenging. The videos do present the information and the reading assignments have the necessary information needed. The test seem to be on another level given the problems

and the values used. revealed how much I had forgotten when it came to solving the algebra and advanced algebraic functions.

Still enjoy being challenged and humbled by this course and what it took to understand enough to compete the

course. The reviews were very helpful!

It is a brief, compact class of Precalculus (Relations and Functions) from the same Online Instructor in Coursera. It gives more emphasis in the derivation and solving of a mathematical model by using Elementary Algebra and Calculus-based techniques. I am very impressed by the teaching and material quality on some specific concepts not so well explained on the common classes in High-School or University Algebra and Calculus. Thank you!

Excellent course materials and instruction videos. Also, I found that the questions of quizzes and exams are highly innovative. They are not meant for testing mere theoretical knowledge, but also, test one's ability to think apply the theoretical knowledge gained.

Very nice refresher. Difficulty was fine. It would have been a litter better to have more challenging problems.
