COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course is a continuation of topics from Intermediate Algebra. Topics of
study include algebraic equations and inequalities, absolute value, polynomial, rational, exponential and
logarithmic functions, conic sections, systems of equations and inequalities, matrices and determinants.
Additional topics may include sequences and series, combinatorics, probability and mathematical
induction.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:
Review the number sets, exponents, and simplifying mathematical expressions.
Demonstrate proficiency in solving one-variable linear and quadratic equations.
Demonstrate proficiency in graphing linear and quadratic functions.
Demonstrate familiarity with one-variable linear and absolute value inequalities.
Demonstrate familiarity with the general aspects of functions; including their definition, notation,
operations, and inverses.
Demonstrate familiarity with Complex numbers and their arithmetic operations.
Demonstrate proficiency in solving one-variable polynomial and rational equations.
Demonstrate familiarity in graphing polynomial and rational functions.
Demonstrate proficiency in solving exponential and logarithmic equations.
Demonstrate proficiency in graphing exponential and logarithmic functions.
Demonstrate proficiency in solving multi-variable systems of linear equations and inequalities.
