Algebra II - L1

This challenging course includes a brief review of the principles and skills learned in Algebra I and Geometry followed by additional topics of operations with polynomials and functions, problem solving, radicals, systems, series and sequences, irrational and complex numbers, as well as exponents and numerical computations. An overall theme is transformations of functions and curve fitting via regression analysis. The techniques of algebra are learned as a study of the structure of the system of complex numbers. A Texas Instruments graphing calculator is required (TI 84+ is recommended.)
