Algebra is considered the language of mathematics. It is the foundation of all the college-prep mathematics courses. A solid foundation is essential. In this course, the student will apply the fundamental operations of real numbers to solve equations with one and two variables. The student will be introduced to new topics which cover polynomials, laws of exponents and solving equations in one variable of degree greater than one. Radicals, inequalities, and various story problems that deal with motion, distance, age, consecutive integers are also covered. Linear equations and graphing will also be studied. This course is for all students who want to learn more than the four basic operations of mathematics.
