Course Description: Advanced Mathematics, College Credit is a title covering any advanced mathematics course offered for credit by an accredited post-secondary institution.
College Algebra is a course designed to give students mastery of the concepts and skills found in Algebra II and introduce topics found in Trigonometry. Emphasis is placed upon the skills, language and applications necessary for success in trigonometry and pre -calculus. Students who earned below a B in Algebra II are encouraged to take this class before progressing to trigonometry. All topics covered in this class are covered in more depth and with more rigor than the same topics in Algebra II. Topics include: (1) relations, function, equations, and inequalities; (2) conic sections; (3) polynomials and factoring; (4) algebraic fractions; (5) logarithmic and exponential functions; (6) matrices; (7) evaluating trigonometric expressions of any angle; (8) graphing trigonometric functions; (9) solving trigonometric equations; using inverse trigonometric functions.
•Prerequisite: Grade of C or D second semester of Algebra II
•This course is NOT open to students with a grade of A or B in Algebra II.
•Credits: A two credit course
•Counts as a Mathematics Course for the General, Core 40, Core 40 with Academic Honors and Core 40 with Technical Honors diplomas.
•A three credit hour dual credit course, MATH 136, offered through Ivy Tech.
