Johns Hopkins University Algebra: Elementary to Advanced Specialization

This Coursera specialization from Johns Hopkins University introduces learners to algebra from the fundamentals through more advanced topics. It is a three-course series designed to help students build a strong foundation in algebra and geometry, with an emphasis on logical reasoning, quantitative thinking, and problem solving.

Across the courses, learners work through equations, inequalities, polynomials, rational expressions, graphs, relations and functions, radicals, exponents, quadratic equations, and function applications. The programme uses many smaller applied problems and practice exercises rather than one large project, helping learners build confidence step by step.

The specialization is beginner level, self-paced, and fully online. It is intended for students who want to prepare for more advanced mathematics such as precalculus, calculus, probability, statistics, and data science, and it awards a shareable certificate on completion.
