It covers many topics to a greater depth than students have previously experienced in their math background. The course moves at a fairly fast pace and students are expected to be highly motivated in order to progress. Structure of the Course Intermediate Algebra The language of algebra Functions and relations Linear functions Linear systems Quadratic functions and complex numbers Exponential and logarithmic functions Rational algebraic functions Irrational algebraic functions Advanced Algebra Quadratic relations and systems Higher degree functions and complex numbers Sequences and series Probability and functions of a random variable Resources Pre-AP Algebra 2 Teachers College Board: Advanced Placement Program TEKS (Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills) Grading Policy Homework:  15% Quizzes:  15% Tests:  70% From the Course Catalog 3223 Pre-AP Algebra 2 1 Credit Prerequisite: 1.
