This course is a continuation of first year Algebra 1A. Topics include: solving quadratic expressions, graphing linear equations, finding equations of lines, and solving systems of equations both graphically and algebraically, set theory, one & two variable inequalities, absolute values, using the Pythagorean Theorem & quadratic formula, solving rational equations, and simplifying radicals.

Prerequisite: Algebra 1A.

Calculators: A simple four-function calculator with a square root is all that is required, although a scientific calculator with exponential capabilities is especially helpful. Graphing is done entirely by hand.
