This is the second course in a two-semester sequence of intermediate algebra and trigonometry with technical applications. Course topics include operations on exponents and radicals, exponential and logarithmic functions and equations, radians, trigonometric functions of any angle, sinusoidal functions and graphing, oblique triangles, vectors, complex numbers and their applications, inequalities, ratio and proportion, variation, and (optional) an introduction to statistics. If time permits, a brief intuitive approach to calculus will be covered. The use of a graphing calculator is required for this course to further the exploration of these topics and their applications. Near the end of the course, students will complete a comprehensive, departmental final exam.
