I have recieved many emails saying that there have been problems opening the documents. When you click on the link for the document, you need to choose to save it and then type in .docx (for word documents) at the end of the file name and under file type change it from zip file to all files (.xslx for excel documents). Please let me know if there are anymore problems!

Advanced Algebra is an in-depth study of topics covered in Algebra I. A good understanding of Algebra I topics is required. Other topics include the study of roots, rational and irrational numbers, conics, solving and graphing quadratic functions, and an introduction to exponential and logarithmic functions. Students are introduced to the graphing calculator and learn how it is used in problem solving situations.

This course is designed for those with a strong background in mathematics. Topics covered include a thorough review of linear and quadratic functions and an in-depth study of polynomial functions. The study of functions in the abstract is facilitated through the study of their graphs using both pen and pencil and technology in the form of graphing calculators and computers. Topics covered include exponential and logarithmic functions and their applications in the real world; trigonometric functions, their equations, graphs and identities and their applications; sequences and series, functions and limits, and their relationship to calculus. Finite topics developed include matrices, combinatorics and probability.
