Advanced Algebra as Taught by Webster Wells, an MIT Professor
From 77.3 C$ /h
This course is an extensive treatment of algebra, once the de facto standard in the United States. The material starts with the basics and drills down to reasonably profound ideas. Download the 2500+ page textbook, and you'll get access to all the materials, including solutions and linked videos. If you need additional support, I would be thrilled to help via Zoom/FaceTime/Skype!
I am open to helping anyone interested in learning, hoping to find like-minded individuals willing to explore. A mathematical adventure that one can start alone, but you'll always have a companion ready to help.

Extra information
Granted, you're accessing information electronically, but you'll need paper and a pencil to work the problems. I'll also help students learn Sagemath and LaTeX if they so desire. Remember that all materials covered can be done using paper and pencil only, but digital computers add significantly to the experience.

About Me
I've been teaching mathematics for almost 35 years. I would love to help others in their journey, including carefully listening to your needs. Yes, I see mathematics or learning in general as a way to create a healthy mind. I am here to help!
Education
Bachelor's degree from New York University and two master's degrees from Columbia University. My studies have allowed me many great opportunities, but the most critical aspect of education is that it largely depends on what you do and not what school you attend.
Experience / Qualifications
I am an associate professor of mathematics at a two-year community college. Although I love what I do, I am looking for like-minded individuals seeking solace in their academic lives. As I near retirement, my mind needs to engage, and I am hopeful that I will find students interested in learning. Again, I am here to engage with others.

I'm in my fourth decade of teaching mathematics, and I have many prepared materials for self-study, including videos. Ideally, you'll work alone and then reach out for one-on-one help if needed. Just reach out and let me know your level of interest, and I'll arrange a no-cost overview of where you should start.
LaTeX is an open-source document preparation system for high-quality typesetting. It is often used for medium-to-large technical or scientific documents, but it can be used for almost any form of publishing.
SageMath is an open-source mathematics software system widely popular in the mathematics community.
The SageTeX package allows you to embed the results of Sage computations into a LaTeX document.
