PROGRAM The class will continue with Algebra, moving into more difficult topics. We will study quadratic equations and their graphs extensively, including transformations of quadratics (shifting, etc.) Many word problems, showing the usefulness of a quadratic equation will be looked at. Fractional expressions and equations, complex numbers (imaginary, using “i”) as well as the laws of exponents, system of equations and functions will be studied in this class. Geometry will extend to covering special angles formed by parallel lines and transversals and properties of polygons.

In addition, we’ll do MOEMS problems as well as some exciting and challenging problems from other math contests like CML and MathKangaroo. This class requires a very strong mathematical background and there is a placement test required for new students who wish to try it out.
