Course Description
Advanced Algebra (a.k.a. Algebra II) is a pre-calculus course that stresses algebra skills. The
purpose of this course is to prepare students for college and beyond by building the algebra
skills that are required for calculus. Included in the course of study are real numbers, function
and graphs, polynomials and rational functions, exponential and logarithmic functions, roots
of polynomial equations, optimization, sequences and series,
conic sections, systems of equations, and limits.
In Algebra II, you will learn to use new models and methods
to think about problems as well as solve them. You will be
developing powerful mathematical tools and learning new
ways of thinking about and investigating situations. You will
be making connections, discovering relationships, figuring
out what strategies can be used to solve problems, and
explaining your thinking. Learning to think in these ways and
communicate about your thinking is useful in mathematical
contexts, other subjects in school, and situations outside the
classroom. The mathematics you have learned in the past will be valuable for learning in this
course. That work, and what you learn in this course, will prepare you for future courses and
many potential career paths.
Trigonometry, on the other hand, is a branch of mathematics that studies relationships
involving lengths and angles of triangles. In addition to the basic trigonometric functions
introduced in Geometry, we will also expand on the usages of sine, cosine, and tangent as
well as explore the relationships with other trigonometry functions and how to apply them to
the real world.
