## Algebra is the basis for all advanced mathematics and when learned in-depth, it can improve critical and abstract thinking, logical intuition, problem solving and visual memory techniques. Discover conceptual thinking.

This course uses mathematical theories to traverse concepts such as simplifying algebraic expressions, solving complex equations, graphical representation, and transformations of functions. We will explore how concepts can transfer between areas of mathematics that are often disconnected in the curriculum.

A true mathematician deeply understands why and how areas of mathematics came about. This course offers a unique opportunity to build your capacity to visualise, explore and eventually create using mathematics.
