Honors Algebra II/Trigonometry

This is the third mathematics course following the Algebra I and Honors Geometry sequence. Students are expected not only to master algebraic mechanics but also to understand the underlying theory and to apply the concepts to real-world situations in a meaningful way. Numerical, graphical, and algebraic solutions are considered for all problems, as applicable. Graphing calculators are integral to the course.

Topics include:
• Functions, polynomials, quadratic equations, rational expressions, complex numbers
• Exponential and logarithmic equations
• Infinite (arithmetic and geometric) sequences and series
• Trigonometric ratios, graphs, identities, and solving equation
• Modeling, logic, and interpretation of results
• Parent functions and simple transformations
