The ideas presented in this course will focus on developing an understanding of the symbolic language of mathematics and science, which depend on the ability to calculate and reason using symbols. Algebraic skills and concepts are developed and used in a wide variety of problem solving situations. This course is based on the California State Content Standards.

The ideas presented in this course will complement and expand the mathematical content and concepts of Algebra 1 and Geometry. Students gain experience with algebraic solutions of problems in various content areas, including the solution of systems of quadratic equations, logarithmic and exponential functions, the binomial theorem, and the complex number system. This course is based on the California State Content Standards.
