States in a historical context. The following list
shows the units and sections within each unit. The New

| Math Math Requirement 3 Credits to Graduate Algebra 2 is made up of five instructional components: Introduction of the New Increment, Examples with Complete Solutions, Practice of the Increment, Daily Problem Set, and Cumulative Tests. Lesson reference numbers are included with the Daily Problem Sets, identifying lessons students can review if they have difficulty in solving the problems. Algebra 2 not only treats topics that are traditionally covered in second-year algebra, but also covers a considerable amount of geometry. Time is spent developing geometric concepts and writing proof outlines. Students completing Algebra 2 will have studied the equivalent of one semester of informal geometry. Applications to subjects such as physics and chemistry, as well as real-world problems, are also covered. The Test Masters include complete solutions for all tests, and solutions for all practice problems are included in the Solutions Manual. Algebra 2
includes such topics as: basic trigonometric functions scientific notation radicals conic sections roots of quadratic equations, including complex roots properties of real numbers geometric proofs factoring inequalities and systems of inequalities logarithms and antilogarithms exponential equations algebra of polynomials vectors algebraic word problems gas law set theory
Advanced
Mathematics
Advanced Mathematics is
made up of five instructional components: Introduction of the New
Increment, Examples with complete Solutions, Practice of the Increment,
Daily Problem Set, and Cumulative Tests. In Advanced Mathematics,
topics from algebra, geometry, trigonometry, discrete mathematics, and
mathematical analysis are interwoven to form a fully integrated text. A
rigorous treatment of Euclidean geometry is also presented. Word
problems are developed throughout the problem sets and become
progressively more elaborate. With this practice, students will be able
to solve challenging problems such as rate problems and work problems
involving abstract quantities. The graphing calculator is used to graph
functions and perform data analysis. Conceptually-oriented problems
that prepare students for college entrance exams (such as the ACT and
SAT) are included in the problem sets.

You know you can't enjoy a game unless you know its rules-whether it's a ball game, a computer game, or simply a party game. Likewise, you can't fully appreciate your surroundings until you understand the rules of nature. Physics is about the rules of nature-so beautifully elegant that it can be neatly described mathematically. That's why many physics courses are treated as applied mathematics. But introductory physics that emphasizes computation misses something essential-comprehension-a gut feeling for the concepts. This book emphasizes comprehension rather than computation. We treat physics conceptually-in down-to-earth English rather than in mathematical language. You'll see the mathematical structure of physics in frequent equations, but you'll see the equations as guides to thinking rather than as recipes for computation. Topics include Linear Motion, Nonlinear Motion, Newton's Laws of Motion, Momentum, Energy, Rotational Motion, Gravity, Satellite Motion, Atomic Nature of Matter, Solids, Liquids, Gases and Plasmas, Temperature, Heat, and Expansion, Heat Transfer, Changes of State, Thermodynamics, Vibrations and Waves, Sound, Musical Sounds, Electrostatics, Electric Current, Magnetism, Electromagnetic Induction, Properties of Light, Color, Reflection and Refraction, Light Waves, Light Emission, Light Quanta, The Atom and the Quantum, The Atomic Nucleus and Radioactivity, Nuclear Fission and Fusion, Special Theory of Relativity, General Theory of Relativity |
