COURSE OF STUDY

This course begins with a review of basic concepts and skills studied in previous courses. As the course develops, some of the topics studied include inequalities and proof; linear equations and functions and graphs; products and factors of polynomials; simplifying rational expressions and equations, studying quadratic equations and functions, and studying the conic sections. Applications of these topics are more involved and are dealt with on a more abstract level. Theory is emphasized.  SAT problems are included in Chapter Tests.
