Course Description:
The overall goals of Algebra 2/Trigonometry are: to explore a variety of functions that can be used to model relationships between sets of numbers; to introduce the set of complex numbers; to build equation-solving skills; to introduce basic data analysis and probability. Students will be expected to work with relations that are in a variety of representations, including algebraic, tabular, graphic, and verbal forms. Real-world data will be used to motivate and extend all topics. The TI-83 graphing calculator and web-based technologies will be used extensively to assist in solving complicated problems. Students will be expected to communicate mathematics clearly in written, verbal, and algebraic forms.
