College Algebra

Preface

Here are a set of problems for my Algebra notes. These problems do not have any solutions available on
this site. These are intended mostly for instructors who might want a set of problems to assign for turning
in. I try to put up both practice problems (with solutions available) and these problems at the same time
so that both will be available to anyone who wishes to use them.
