College Algebra

What is College Algebra?

At Guilford High School College Algebra is the upper level of our 2nd year algebra course.  It covers all the topics of algebra 2 and is considered to be the prerequisite of a student going on to precalculus and later calculus.

Chapters include:  Prerequisites (Review and more!), Equations and Inequalities, Coordinates and Graphs, Functions, Polynomial and Rational Functions, Exponential and Logarithmic Functions, Systems of Equations and Inequalities, Matrices and Determinants, Sequences and Series, Counting and Probability, and Conic Sections.

 

Graphing Calculators such as the TI-83 or the TI-84 will be used with many lessons.

For many students College Algebra represents the first opportunity to discover the beauty and practical power of mathematics.  It offers the challenge of learning the concepts and skills of algebra, while at the same time gaining a sense of its utility in the real world.
