Students learn fundamental algebraic concepts and skills that are essential for advanced study in mathematics and the sciences.
Students solve linear and nonlinear equations, inequalities, and systems of equations.
Students will simplify algebraic expressions and graph functions including rational, exponential, and logarithmic functions. Graphs of these functions are sketched, trigonometric identities are proved, complex numbers are explored and polar equations are graphed. Students acquire algebraic and trigonometric competencies essential to the study of calculus. Algebraic, trigonometric, exponential and logarithmic functions are graphed and used in applications. Students also solve linear and nonlinear equations and inequalities, systems of equations and inequalities, and apply sequences and series with facility.
