Welcome to the Algebra2go chemistry preparation page. If you need to brush up on your math for Saddleback College's chemistry 108 or an introductory chemistry class at another school, we have tools that can help you. At this time we can offer two types of study materials: video lectures and video worksheets. Whichever materials you decide to use, we would appreciate your feedback. Please let Professor Perez know what you liked and didn't like about these materials by sending him an e-mail.
Perhaps our most popular tools are the video lectures. Attend Professor Perez's lecture alongside his favorite student, Charlie. Each lecture focuses on a particular skill set which is vital for success in chemistry. The videos are available in three formats.
Windows Streaming Media: These are .wmv videos. If your computer doesn't already play this format, you can download the free Windows Media Player to watch them.
YouTube: These are flash videos. They are lower quality than the windows streaming media videos, but YouTube videos can be played on a wider range of platforms including the iPhone and Wii. Since YouTube limits the length of video clips, some of the videos have been split into multiple parts.
TeacherTube: These are flash videos similar to the YouTube versions, but TeacherTube videos are better quality and do not need to be split into multiple parts.
Every video is accompanied by a worksheet so that you can work along with Charlie during the video. Active learning processes like this are particularly good ways to improve retention. The worksheets are saved in the .pdf format. If your computer doesn't already read these files, you can download the free Adobe Acrobat Reader.
