This course introduces the student to the basic concepts of mathematics as well as the fundamentals of more complicated areas. Basic Math is designed to provide students with an understanding of arithmetic and to prepare them for Algebra I and beyond.

Dr. Murray H. Siegel has a Ph.D. in Mathematics Education. Kentucky Educational Television honored him as "the best math teacher in America."

He has a gift and evident passion for explaining mathematical concepts in ways that make math seem clear and obvious rather than arbitrary and murky.

From the basics of multiplication to decimals and fractions and the operations of geometry, he is the master of the skillful metaphor and the well-wrought example.
