First work

Welcome to Math 2B/3A.  This year we will finish the Math 2 book (mostly quadratic functions, similarity, right triangle trig, area and volume) and start the Math 3 book (mostly polynomials, series and statistics).  There is a lot of variety in the topics and I hope you find them interesting.  I am here to help so please make sure you ask questions in class and/or come see me outside of class if you are having difficulty.

I have two sections of this class: B-Block and F-Block.  The syllabus listed is for B-Block.  The only difference for F-Block is that the listings for Tuesdays happen on Wednesdays.

The first quick unit is a review of exponents and radicals.
