Chapter 1: This chapter is largely review of Math 80. We review the order of mathematical operations, evaluation of algebraic expressions, translating English phrases into algebraic form, and equations and inequalities.

Chapter 2: We look at equations as mathematical models, applications of equations and inequalities, and absolute values.

Chapter 3: Graphs are pictures of the equations and models we have been using. Now we explore the creation of graphs and the interpretation of them. We review graphing and explore the graphs of lines. We define relations, functions, domain, and range. We look at the notation for functions. We return to graphs and discuss interpretations of different graphical shapes.

Chapter 4: We write the equation of a line in several forms and apply it. Then we analyze the presence of two lines on a graph, develop methods for finding the coordinates of their crossing point, and solve related applications.

Chapter 5: We select special products and factoring for review.

Chapter 6: We consider rational functions, fractions, and apply mathematical operations to them. We use fractions in equations, inequalities, and applications.

Chapter 7: We look at exponents of many kinds and the related radical expressions. We gain experience with scientific notation. We explore complex numbers and mathematical operations on them. We learn to rationalize denominators involving radicals, fractional exponents, or complex numbers.

Chapter 8: We look at the properties and graphs of quadratic functions. We learn several ways of solving these second-degree equations, and develop several ways of relating the equations to the shape, orientation, and position of their graphs, which are called parabolas.
