As of Fall 2011, I am providing lecture videos, written notes, and examples of Graph files to my students through Dropbox. If you are a student in one of my classes (or other interested party), and would like copies of my current materials, please e-mail me at ChristopherRaridan@clayton.edu and I will share the files with you. When you e-mail me, please indicate the class for which you would like notes.

Once upon a time, I was considering writing a College Algebra and Trigonometry textbook. The section numbers may not match with your textbook, but the section titles are probably very similar. Click on the links below to view my section notes for College Algebra.
