Black Radical Algebra I On-Demand [Semester 2]
This 16-week course in Algebra I
is the follow-up semester of our fall 2021 semester.
Algebra
goes back to the Nile Valley of ancient Africa where our Black
ancestors developed one of the earliest mathematical texts – the Iahmesu
(Ahmes) Mathematical Papyrus. This ancient text (actually a copy of an
even older text) contains problems from arithmetic, algebra, geometry,
and trigonometry. The title of papyrus was “Rules for Conducting Research into Nature for the Purpose of Knowing All that Exists: Each Mystery and Each Secret.”
It is in that spirit that we’re embarking upon this journey into
solving for the unknown. We use African proverbs and oral narratives
along with games and some mental elbow grease to ensure that students
are rooted in the African worldview as they explore this one of many
mathematics subjects that was created by our African ancestors.
The
course may be taken live or on-demand at your own pace, and on your own
schedule. The course features an online forum for peer learning and
support; additionally each session is recorded for unlimited student
review. Connect online with live streaming audio (VOIP) and video with
your classmates from around the world!
