This is an instruction system for a second year of high school Algebra. It is designed for students in grades 9 and above who have successfully completed Beginning and Elementary Algebra courses. The instruction extends all topics of Elementary Algebra and emphasizes the function concept. Topics include: graphing on the xy-plane, the use of rational number exponents, absolute values, exponential functions, and logarithm functions.

Every objective in the course is thoroughly explained and developed. Numerous examples illustrate every concept and procedure. Student involvement is guaranteed as the presentation invites the student to work through partial examples. Each unit of material ends with an exercise specifically designed to evaluate the extent to which the objectives have been learned and encourage re-study of any skills that were not mastered.

The instruction is dependent upon reasonable reading skills and conscientious study habits. With those skills and attitudes in place, the student is assured a successful experience in learning those concepts associated with Intermediate Algebra.
