Geometry Geometry is the study of size, shape and other properties of the objects around us. It is a mathematical system in which a few basic statements are agreed upon and then used to discover results by logical reasoning. Emphasis is placed on developing logical thinking skills. Topics covered include congruent triangles, parallel and perpendicular lines, polygons, and 3-dimensional figures. Algebra II Algebra II continues the study of the real number system and algebraic operations on the real numbers begun in Algebra I. Particular emphasis is placed on expanding the concept of exponents, solving higher degree equations, matrices, and understandin g a wide variety of word problems.
Geometry is integrated into the course whenever possible.
Finally, the student is introduced to complex numbers, conic sections and logarithms. The aim of a more advanced course in mathematics is to go beyond mere computational skills and to develop some understanding of fundamental mathematical concepts. It begins with a few advanced algebraic topics such as sequences, series, and probability. It then continues with a study of the six trigonometric functions as applied to acute angles, angles of any measure and real numbers. Topics such as graphs of trigonometric functions, solutions of trigonometric equations, identities and inverse functions are also studied.
