Algebra II builds upon the fundamental skills learned from Algebra I. Students will learn to solve, evaluate, graph, write, and/or simplify the following: equations and inequalities, linear equations and functions, systems of linear equations and inequalities, matrices and determinants, quadratic equations, polynomials and their functions, rational expressions and equations, powers, roots and radicals, exponential and logarithmic functions, quadratic relations and conic sections, sequence and series, probability and statistics, and an introduction to trigonometry. Students will continually be challenged to build upon previously acquired skills as they learn new concepts and skills.

This course works with functions represented in a variety of ways: graphical, numerical, analytical, or verbal. The understanding of the meaning of the derivative and definite integral are explored, as well as their relationship to each other in the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, while students learn to use derivatives and integrals to solve a variety of problems. Students are required to take the AP exam near the end of the second semester.
