Algebra II is a typical, second-year, fundamental Algebra course. I are not only reviewed but also discussed in greater depth. In addition, more emphasis is placed upon the rational and irrational numbers, complex numbers, systems of equations, linear and quadratic functions and their graphs. It covers the usual topics of Algebra II while reviewing and expanding basic topics and emphasizing the structure of the real number system. Key topics include rational and irrational numbers and functions, logarithms, and trigonometry of both right and non-right triangles.
More emphasis is placed on problem solving and the theoretical aspects of most topics.
This course is required for senior Advanced Placement Calculus. This one-semester course covers topics that, at most, were introduced only minimally in earlier classes. It is a study that combines and extends areas of mathematics and geometry dealing with formal development of various trig functions, their graphs, degree and radian measure of angles, graphing the basic functions and their variations, and a study of the fundamental trigonometric identity relationships. The trigonometric solution of problems involving both right and oblique triangles is developed. Study of the inverse trigonometric functions and the connection to complex numbers will round out the study, and other related topics may be covered as time allows.
