Mathematics
MA35 Algebra
This course begins with a review
of the essential skills of arithmetic as they relate
to the study of algebra. In each subsequent chapter,
algebra concepts are introduced in a step-by-step
approach with lots of examples illustrating each new
skill. Frequent sets of exercises and real-life applications
allow students to practice what they have learned
and see the relevance of what they are studying. Topics
include: algebra–arithmetic with letters; the
rules of arithmetic; linear equations with one variable;
applications of algebra; exponents and polynomials;
factoring; data, statistics, and probability; fractions
and algebra; linear equations and inequalities in
the coordinate plane; systems of linear equations;
irrational numbers and radical expressions; geometry;
quadratic equations.

MA36 Algebra II
In this course several methods for
solving quadratic equations, such as factoring, completing
the square, and graphing are covered. The text also
introduces trigonometry and exponential functions–vital
concepts for real world applications. Topics include:
linear equations and inequalities; linear functions
and inequalities; quadratic equations; quadratic functions
graphing; polynomials; rational expressions; powers,
roots, radicals, fractional exponents; exponential
and logarithmic functions; conic sections; trigonometry;
permutations, combinations, probability, and series;
complex numbers; measurement and statistics.

MA26 Applied Math
This course begins by reviewing the
fundamentals of arithmetic and teaches computational
skills with whole numbers, fractions, decimals, and
percents. These skills are then applied to a variety
of topics, such as measurement, ratio and proportion,
probability, statistics, graphs, and basic algebra
and geometry. The student's understanding of each
topic is immediately reinforced through sample solutions,
ample exercises and reviews, and application problems
stressing the ongoing use of critical thinking and
problem-solving skills.

MA38 Business Math
The worktext for this comprehensive
course has two basic components: (1) the rules of
and practice with the fundamental mathematical principles
of decimals, fractions, percents, weights and measures,
estimations, graphs, and shortcuts; and (2) the use
of these principles for common applications such as
keeping a checking account, calculating interest,
calculating time-payment plans and short-term loans,
purchase orders and invoices, cash discounts and trade
discounts, selling goods, calculating gross pay for
payrolls, inventory valuation, cost of goods sold
and depreciation.

MA29 Consumer Math
This course helps to prepare students
for real life situations involving mathematical reasoning
through extensive practice and application. Mathematical
and problem solving strategies are learned and enhanced
through the development of skills in areas such as:
money management; buying and maintaining a car and
home; completing tax forms.

MA33 Geometry
In this course the main emphasis
is on plane geometry–geometric figures in a
plane such as squares, triangles, and circles. Later
chapters in the text cover solid geometry–such
as cubes, prisms, and spheres. In each chapter, short
lessons with lots of examples illustrate and teach
each new skill. Frequent sets of exercises and activities
allow students to practice what they have learned.
Lessons include real-life applications that help students
see the relevance of what they are studying. Topics
include: exploring geometry–points, lines, and
angles in the plane; thinking geometrically–using
proofs, parallel lines and transversals; using algebra–lines
in the coordinate plane; triangles and quadrilaterals;
congruent triangles and transformations; proportion
and similarity; the Pythagorean Theorem; perimeter
and area; circles and spheres; solid geometric figures
and their measures; geometry and imagination.

MA34 Pre-Algebra
This course introduces students to
algebra by building on basic mathematical concepts
they already know and prepares students for the transition
to a more formal study of algebra and geometry. The
text teaches basic concepts of math as it introduces
algebra concepts in a step-by-step approach. Short
lessons with lots of examples illustrate and teach
each new skill. Frequent sets of exercises and activities
allow students to practice what they have learned.
Lessons include real-life applications that help students
see the relevance of what they are studying.
