Prerequisites: Honors Geometry completion and teacher recommendation. This course is geared to the advanced student in mathematics. It is designed to introduce students to the nature of Algebra as a logical system, emphasizing theory as well as application. The course begins with a review and extension of the fundamental concepts of Algebra, equations and inequalities. Relations and functions, polynomial and rational functions and their graphs, exponential and logarithmic functions, counting theory, and systems of equations and inequalities are covered. Grade weighted upon successful completion of course. Final grade of “B” or better provides automatic placement in the next course in the series.
