Preface
In 1996, the Brookdale Mathematics Department created an Introductory Algebra course for our
non-STEM students. Math faculty consulted other departments with courses that had
Introductory Algebra as a prerequisite, and created an algebra course that truly served many
non-STEM disciplines. The Department selected a textbook that was as innovative as the course.
However, it did not match our preferred order of topics, and it did not include some prerequisite
topics requested by other departments, such as Probability and Statistics.
For years math faculty created support curriculum in hopes of eventually developing our own
textbook. We wanted to provide non-STEM students with a high-quality and academically
rigorous book that supported our course learning outcomes, for free or at minimum cost. Finally,
with the advent of Open Educational Resources (OER) and the support of Brookdale Community
College, we decided to build a book that combined a remix of OER textbook definitions with our
own curriculum.
This text was piloted in the Spring 2017 semester by math faculty who volunteered to use the
book and contribute suggestions. Since then, we received suggestions and edits from faculty who
taught the course. This Third Edition reflects those suggestions and changes. We remain
appreciative of the support and encouragement we received from our families, as well as
Brookdale administrators, staff, and faculty.
