Chapter 1

Prerequisites

Foundational algebra review: real-number system, exponents and scientific notation, radicals and rational exponents, polynomials, factoring, and rational expressions.

6 sections
Chapter 2

Equations and Inequalities

Coordinate systems and graphing; solving linear, quadratic, and other types of equations; complex numbers; linear and absolute-value inequalities.

7 sections
Chapter 3

Functions

Foundations of functions: notation, domain/range, rates of change, composition, transformations, absolute-value functions, and inverses.

7 sections
Chapter 4

Linear Functions

Linear functions and their graphs, modeling with linear functions, and fitting linear regression models to data.

3 sections
Chapter 5

Polynomial and Rational Functions

Quadratic, power, polynomial, and rational functions; division of polynomials; zeros; inverses and radical functions; modeling with variation. Complex numbers were covered in Ch 2.

8 sections
Chapter 6

Exponential and Logarithmic Functions

Exponential and logarithmic functions and their graphs, properties of logarithms, equations, models, and curve-fitting.

8 sections
Chapter 7

The Unit Circle: Sine and Cosine Functions

Angles, right-triangle trigonometry, the unit-circle definition of sine and cosine, and the other trigonometric functions. Note that AlgTrig orders right-triangle trig before the unit circle, while Precalc 2e places the unit circle first.

4 sections
Chapter 8

Periodic Functions

Graphs of the trigonometric functions and inverse trigonometric functions.

3 sections
Chapter 9

Trigonometric Identities and Equations

Verifying identities, sum/difference, double-angle/half-angle/reduction formulas, product-to-sum/sum-to-product, and solving equations.

5 sections
Chapter 10

Further Applications of Trigonometry

Non-right triangles (Laws of Sines and Cosines), polar coordinates and graphs, polar form of complex numbers, and vectors.

6 sections
Chapter 11

Systems of Equations and Inequalities

Linear and nonlinear systems of equations and inequalities; matrices; solving with Gaussian elimination, inverses, and Cramer's Rule.

7 sections
Chapter 12

Analytic Geometry

Conic sections in standard form (ellipse, hyperbola, parabola).

3 sections
Chapter 13

Sequences, Probability, and Counting Theory

Arithmetic and geometric sequences and series, summation notation, and the binomial theorem.
