Intermediate Algebra: Functions and Modeling should be taken after successful completion of Foundations of Algebra . Topics in this course include a brief review of Foundations of Algebra, Linear Functions, Exponents and Exponential Functions, Polynomials, and Quadratic Functions and Factoring. Graphing calculators will be used extensively and students should have their own graphing calculator. If purchasing a calculator, the TI-84 contains the features needed for all courses except AP Calculus or AP Statistics. This is also the calculator used for demonstration purposes in classes. Students will not be allowed to use a TI-89, TI-92, TI-Nspire CAS or other comparable calculators that utilize symbolic manipulation. Only AP courses use the Nspire-CAS calculator.

Calculator rentals are available through the math department. See a math teacher for questions.
