Course Description/Goals:
This course is designed to cover topics in Algebra ranging
from polynomial, rational, and exponential functions to
conic sections. Trigonometry concepts will also be
introduced. Students will then begin analytic geometry
and calculus concepts such as limits, derivatives, and
integrals. This class will lay the necessary foundation for
future success in Calculus or College Algebra.

***Basic Algebra and Geometry skills are assumed and

are imperative for success in this course.

Discipline:
My philosophy of discipline is centered on mutual respect.
I am in full support of all school rules and enforce them.

Make Up Work:
When you are absent, it is your responsibility to get all missed
notes and assignments.

Assignments:
1. All work must show steps to receive credit.
2. All work must be neat and legible.
3. To receive credit, all work is to be turned in on time!!
