The intention is to give the student a firm foundation in arithmetic fundamentals, basic algebra, geometry that can be applied to the work world and basic probability and statistics.
Emphasis is on mathematics that is practical and useful.
Calculators are used extensively and computers are used to some extent. There is some review of the topics covered in Applied Math I. Routine and non-routine problem solving skills are taught throughout. This class in conjunction with the Applied Math I are designed to give students enough foundation in mathematics so they can take the college bound course in algebra or geometry if they wish before they finish their high school education. This course is the last of a series of three mathematics courses designed for the non-college bound students. Basics of the preceding two courses are reviewed.
