SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the need for a dedicated College Algebra forum for the MA104 course at Lehman College, which presents challenges for students. Key topics covered in the course include rational expressions, integer and rational exponents, the quadratic formula, complex numbers, exponential and logarithmic functions, conic sections, and trigonometry. Participants suggest that existing forums may already cover these topics, specifically referencing Pre-Algebra/Algebra 2 and Trigonometry forums. The discussion highlights the importance of creating a focused space for MA104 students to seek help.

PREREQUISITES

I would like to see a College Algebra forum. It is a course at Lehman College that gives students lots of trouble. At Lehman, the course is known as MA104.

It's a good suggestion, though I took its equivalent in High School, not College. (Not an AP course.)

MAT 104 College Algebra
Rational expressions, integer and rational exponents, quadratic formula, complex numbers, exponential and logarithmic functions, conic sections, trigonometry. Mathematics laboratory attendance may be assigned at the discretion of the instructor.
I think they all fit in the forums that already exist as https://mathhelpboards.com/trigonometry-12/ already has its own forum and the rest:

Rational expressions, integer and rational exponents, quadratic formula $\to $ https://mathhelpboards.com/pre-algebra-algebra-2/

Complex numbers, exponential and logarithmic functions, conic sections $\to$ https://mathhelpboards.com/trigonometry-12/
Some of those topics may fit either forum in any case. Someone correct me if this doesn't sound right.
