# Alg2 = Algebra II

This is a required course, designed for students who are planning to attend college or pursue a technical post-secondary career.

The course emphasizes facility with symbolic expressions and forms, alongside graphical and tabular representations. It moves beyond the linear and quadratic forms learned in Algebra 1, to several other families of functions that extend those fundamental concepts. It also builds upon concepts of scaling and transformation from Geometry. Students will study polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic, trigonometric, and discrete families; and will build functions by combination and composition, investigating both their abstract properties and the use of functions as tools for modeling real-world situations. The course concludes with several topics from probability and statistics, with an emphasis on conditional probability and random processes.

Students taking this course are required to have a graphing calculator; and must also have access to a computer outside school, either at home or the library.

The last day to retest or submit Q1 make-up work is one week before the end of the quarter: Thursday, October 12.
