Algebra: Introduction to Algebra
[NOTE: This video is only the first 11 minutes of the full lesson, please visit my website to purchase complete version] This lesson consists of providing you with a Self-Tutorial on what is algebra, what are variables, constants, coefficients, terms, and expressions. The tutor explains the use of proper notation, how to combine like terms, find the negation of an algebraic expression, how to evaluate an expression (by hand and by using your calculator), and finally, there is a VERY detailed section on how to translate English phrases into algebraic expressions.

You don't look or speak like the typical "drone" algebra teachers I have seen in the past! Without the monotonous voice you make it easier to understand a dry subject! Congratulations on catching my attention and teaching me something!
I am in the sixth grade and you such a good tutor that I can actually understand a lot about what your talking about :)
One of the best Algebra online classes. The instructor is actually interesting.
Thank you for your tutorials. They are very helpful when you have been out of school for a while and having to refresh for the GRE.
geez, im lucky to knowing alot of maths and so many other kinds, by uploading this exactly on my birthday, thanx for the gift from 2 years ago :D
thank you luis you helped to pass my pre algebra test to get into math 1
Audio is in Mono, not stereo. Old Mic. Sorry. You will need to adjust your PCs audio to hear. New videos will be in Stereo.
@videomathtutor I'd call Algebra 2 and advanced version of Algebra. In school they taught us the basics and then we moved onto Algebra 2. That's really the term they use in school. I want to say that this is awesome and I appreciate the fact that you teach this for free rather than charging money. Math isn't quite clicking with me, but this is helping me just a little bit better.
Oh thank you so much math tutor man! I am an older *student* returning back to college after many moons of being out...and I don't remember a thing! This has helped me gain an edge and got me back into learning mode again! I'll be using you a lot more, I've got to get through probability and statistics, and nasty dosage calculation.
i have to admit that these are a lot more understandable than the textbooks my teachers used to give to me whenever i said i didn't get algebra
Thank you so much for your videos! I know they are a few years old, but I am just starting algebra in college. I was always afraid of math and dreaded it in college (bad experiences in Jr high). I'm using your tutorials in conjunction with a tutor and for the first time in my 49 years......I understand Algebra and am no longer afraid of math! I've gone through many tutorials here on KZread and you are the first one I understand! Thanks to your videos.....I know I will do fine in Algebra :)
Just thought I'd say in studying maths for computer graphic and find you classes really useful; keep coming!
Wow, now that I've watched your videos, I can officially pass Algebra with flying colors! Thanks!!! :)
This is amazing, I want to tell you that you should not apologize for the jokes, it is your way to make the class attractive and fun... even sometimes is necessary to relax and this is great, thank you so much
found this!!! Thanks so much! I love the way you teach, and your jokes are funny, it breaks the monotony of learning lol.
I wish i could of had you as my teacher for math. I am having a hard time with algebra because i can't get my lazy ass to study but you make math seem fun and not depressing
well today i'm a highschool now ....and tomorrow we will have our long test your magnificent video helped me in a short period of TIME!!!! THANKS A LOT!!!
@jtjjbannie What does video production have to do with math? Sounds works fine with me and my MacBook. It is in mono, not stereo. Please adjust your PC's audio settings to hear. I have corrected this for future videos.
These videos are awesome -- I'm taking my Accuplacer tomorrow and I can't describe how much these have helped refresh my memory. =D Thanks!!
wow,,i have been looking for something like this,,like forever!! thanks
@kateandizzy It is not really age specific. It is for anyone first learning algebra (hence the title "Introduction to Algebra"). It is designed mainly for students from 7th grade through college.
Guys, stop hating on him, he spent a lot of time putting this video together and all he wants to do is help people :D
subbed.. got a lot of work to do for my GED.. thanks for putting these up
Sorry for the mono sound. At time of recording, I did not have a stereo mic. New videos will use a studio quality stereo mic. Not sure what you mean by "You have no idea what you are talking about." As a pro math tutor, I can assure you I most definitely know what I am talking about when it comes to Algebra (better than most other tutors and teachers out there). I am not an expert on audio or video recording. Self-taught.
thats ok. i really like the way you teach you're so much better than my teacher.thanks for uploading a videos like this it helps a lot . :)
I'm going to have to give in and pay for your algebra lessons. Thanks to you I learned Math. I tried the free Khan academy algebra but his delivery is far less professional. You get what you pay for and I look forward to getting some algebra skills!
@abovecrazykid Glad I could help! More videos are on the way!
Dude! You are freaken awesome!! You are immensely helping me to kick ass in my math exam tomorrow. :D
Great video! Helped a lot!
I pray I learn everything I need to know... before I take my Math Compass Test.... I'm trying to graduate... :-)
@OfficialJuke Your SPECIFIC question is answered in my "Algebra: Solving Linear Inequalities" lesson, but you should watch other algebra lessons first, to better understand all the material.
@roger767 Well, you have my videos and math notes now! So I hope you don't fail a second time. More videos are on the way!
Wow !!! when i learn for this video i think i'm already ready for doing algebra !! :))) Thank you for posting this video!! i really enjoy it sooo much!! :)))
I will eventually do a video about them in detail. I do talk a little bit in Basic Math, Lesson 6.
this is awesome..I just registered at college and I need to take remedial algebra. This will help greatly
@JoelOnYouVideos GLad to know I can help! More videos are on the way!
@l3annanaMan You are most welcome. More lessons will be posted soon...
u r knd of a very jolly teacher vey nicce i really like ur videos
Im trying desperately to learn Algebra from zero all over again for a GED, and this has given me light in the subject like no other material has, the only part I had difficulty understanding was the listing of the negative terms, and exactly why they had to be listed as negative terms...
I will be doing videos in those areas, but they will probably not be free. Sorry.
In the last part that is unlike terns example #8 after the 4, -5 does the 3x is not inlcuded?
wow he is a nice teacher he teaches well that's why i understand algebra now WOW thanks.......
Very good video! I'm so confused in understanding Algebra. I'll be back for more :)
Great video helped me so much! thank you! :)
Thank you so much! it really helps. :)
I couldn't go to sleep but them i watched this. Thanks
Freaking awesome. I had a good algebra teacher so I can't see I wish you were my teacher, but this makes it clearer even for someone who's been through way higher level algebra.

i just watched a video if you just pay attention in class you'll get the concept i'm a 12 year old girl and i'm going into middle school i'll give you some tips
Sound is mono, not stereo. Adjust your sound. I will be fixing this in future videos.
dude, yhis is alot of help specialy if you taking the asvab test for the military... THANK YOU
what ever you do , you have to feel the desire and enthusiasm to enjoy it, it doesn't matter how old are you, but like professor AST says organize your self, and sacrifice your boredom, and then stick to your plan. but again, the most important thing in life for what ever you do is your enthusiasm. often i find people saying "uh! i hate pull ups, they shouldn't do it, because they are not enjoying they are forcing themselves to do it, even more, they could have a heart attack because stress
Thank you this helped me alot :)
There should be a link for you to follow to rent full lesson. It is only available in certain countries. If you cannot, you would need to either buy DVD or the Video-On-Demand. Both available at my website.
The sound is not in stereo, but I hear it on both my speakers. I'm sorry if you are having problems.
I enjoy watching his videos!! a really fun way to learn algebra; he makes you smile with his jokes!! :DD
@kassieGX Algebra 1. By the way, since there is no clear definition to what "Algebra 2" is, I won't be using this term in future videos.
Happy to help!
He is talking about coefficients in that part of the video. He is asking - what is the number (or constant) in front of the variable? The coefficient of 2x is 2 because that expression really means 2 times x. So in the case of -y, the coefficient is -1, because -1 times y equals -y
@ConejoDosTrece213 I'm sorry you are having difficulty with this video. You may want to start off with my "basic Math" video series FIRST. It is designed as a review of the math you will need for algebra.
You should get much more views! Your videos are awsome and you really learn math from them :D (Sorry if my english is bad, Im from sweden)
thanks, very helpful!!
@iN3M3Z1Z Sorry about that. I just got a new stereo mic, so this won't be a problem in the future.
@bratzkidscloe Good to know. Try watching my other algebra videos too! More are on the way!
If you don't understand the video, start off with the "Basic Math" videos I offer for FREE here. Be aware they are designed for 7th grade through college. I will be making videos for younger students, but not for awhile.
@bigmommaloveskk You can rent the videos here on KZread, or purchase the Video On Demand on the lulu website. The Notes can be purchased separately from me at my videomathtutor site. You can get notes free if you buy DVDs from me (this takes longer, since I have to mail them, but they are of a higher quality than other videos.)
@OhByGolly1 Try watching this and my other videos. You may want to start off with the Basic Math ones first.
@biggee316 Not sure what you mean by "listing negative terms." Be sure to go over all my "Basic Math" videos too!
Try using the "Video-on-Demand" service on my videomathtutor[.]com website (or buy DVDs). Sorry about the non-rentals here. I have no control over that, google does.
It help me alot!!!!!!!!!! =) Thank you SIR. you're better than our professor. :) Thanks a lot! :D
@dizzytrizzy07 Yeah. I know. It was recorded in mono, not stereo. Sorry. This has been fixed for future videos.
Okay thanks; might of gotten it confused with another. Awesome vid btw =3
this is so helpful thanks
What song is that when it first comes on? I forgotten the name; kind of gives me a drive to study ^.^ it's like victory music
thanks dude i am studying for my midterms this really helped!
how do i get the notes that you talked about
Do you tutor courses beyond algebra? I'm talking about Calculus III, advanced physics, thermodynamics, fluids....advanced stuff????
i hope these video help me to do good on my math placement compass test! great video!!!!!

Jocelyn Heredia-Garcia I hope so too!
Please make the video easier for children to understand like me I am in a primary school but your video is very good! Thumbs up!
@biggee316 The Basic Math videos are all free. You can save money by renting those that I charge for here. Buying the PDF files from my website is another way to save money.
Thanks men for this,you are my hero! :D
Thanks. New videos are on the way!
Well, you are taking care of the coefficients (the numbers) but not the variables (the letters). Both need to be done. Watch this lesson (entire lesson, not just this sample) to get a good introduction to algebra. I will cover more about multiplications in algebra in future lessons (subscribe to my channel to be informed of new lessons).
@carolcitty You can get free SAMPLE notes on my VIdeoMathTutor website. Full notes are for sale there. Look for the "PDF Printshop link at top of homepage.
thank you it really helped me alot with my algebra :)))
how do we print the manual u mention in the beginning of this video?

The notes are for sale (sorry, not free) at my videomathtutor.com website. Look for the "Math Note" tab at top of page. They are free if you purchase the DVD of the lesson.
@mLupitaRamirez1 Glad to know I was able to help. More videos on the way in September.
@teststudyskills You are welcome. You may embed my FREE videos on your website, if you like.
good videos. no joke, thank you very much.
@bigmommaloveskk Downloading and going over the free math notes on my videomathtutor website will also help you review your math. More videos are on the way!
So yellow plus blue makes green for your variables?
@blacklotus808 When there is no coefficient visible, it is implied that a 1 is there. Keep watching my videos... you will get it. Don't give up too soon.
I like the intro music
There are several sources credited for algebra. You may want to do some research in a library, for more detailed info.
Great video helped me rasie my Grade in math
This is great...btw, just curious...What is the highest or most difficult branch of mathematics to learn?
@videomathtutor I see what you're saying now. I'm paying for the entertainment portion of the video. Not the math lessons themselves. Granted part of the money is paid for math lessons, but the majority if you look at it correctly is paid for entertainment itself. I was looking strictly for information without sifting through the search engines and so I used youtube and saw this video. I would like to thank you for taking the time to explain everything in this detail. I honestly liked the video
Thanks so much!
It is not that they may be having trouble with this. I just want to teach this in the PROPER way, so that students can BETTER understand this. It provides a good foundation so that more difficult algebra will seem easier.
Man, your better then my 9th grade math teacher.
Sound is in mono, not stereo. Please adjust your speakers accordingly.
@11gdh12 I will talk more about pi when I do my geometry lessons. I really can't go into much depth here. Pi is a constant, since it never changes value (hence a CONSTANT). The value of a variable VARIES depending on how it is being used.
