AlGEBRA 2

ALGEBRA 2

 Advanced Algebra is taught with the assumption that basic operations in arithmetic are mastered. Some review of first year algebra is given with some concepts taught in more depth, and new skills to improve the students’ solution options. Functions are emphasized and additional concepts include factoring methods, rational exponents, graphs of conic sections, complex numbers, exponential models, logarithms, higher order polynomials, and rational functions. Applications will be studied for each concept. Techniques: Advanced Algebra is taught as an academic, college preparatory course, i.e. mainly lecture. All quizzes are announced in advance and homework is almost daily - students should expect to devote time outside of class to assignments.
