The course Algebra II is a foundation for Pre Calc and Calculus. Becoming competent in algebraic logic and operations is the heart of what we do in this course therefore focus is placed on a traditional treatment of the material.Topics included are: sets of numbers, basic axioms, graphing of simple linears, multiple linears, quadratics, and inequalities including linear programming. Solutions of linear and quadratic equations, which includes systems of linear equations and determinant solutions are also covered, as well as the Quadratic Formula, exponential and logarithmic functions, rules of exponentiation, fractional exponents, powers and radicals (without using calculators), and the ability to factor algebraic expressions (which includes long division of polynomials, simplification of complex algebraic fractions, radicals, simplest radical form and the factor theorem).

All material is reinforced with homework, quizzes and tests. Worked into this class is also an introduction to the Math SAT I exam. Students will take between 5 and 7 of the Math SAT I test throughout the year. These tests help identify problems and motivate students in completing the daily work.
