Students deepen their critical thinking skills and develop their ability to persist through challenges as they explore function families: Linear, Absolute Value, Quadratic, Polynomial, Radical, Rational, Exponential, and Logarithmic. Students analyze data algebraically and with technology while developing their knowledge of properties of functions, matrices and systems of equations, and complex numbers. Students will connect functions to their inverses and associated equations and solutions in both mathematical and real-world situations. Students will experience a high-quality curriculum designed by the faculty at The University of Texas at Austin. Using an Inquiry-Based Approach, students take an active role in the construction of their learning. This learning will be accomplished by abstraction, generalization, problem-solving, and modeling. Successful completion of this course earns college credit for UT M301 or Math 1324 and high school credit for Algebra II or Independent Study in Math if a student already has earned an Algebra II credit.
