Core Complex numbers i² = −1, arithmetic in the complex plane, modulus and conjugates. (1 + 2i)*(3 - i) Core Polynomial functions Degree, end behaviour, zeros, turning points, and what the graph must look like. y = x^3 - 3x Core Rational functions Asymptotes, holes and domain: where a fraction of polynomials blows up. y = 1/(x^2 - 1) Core Sequences and series Arithmetic and geometric sequences, partial sums, and the geometric series formula. sum of 2^k for k = 0 to 10 Core The binomial theorem Expanding (a + b)ⁿ with Pascal's triangle and binomial coefficients. expand (a + b)^5 Advanced Conic sections Circles, ellipses, parabolas and hyperbolas as equations and as surfaces sliced. x^2 + y^2 - 25 Core Vectors Magnitude, direction, components, and adding vectors head to tail. [[3],[4]] Core Exponential and logarithmic functions Growth and decay, the number e, log rules, and change of base. y = e^x Core Polynomial division and the remainder theorem Long division, synthetic division, and why f(a) is the remainder on dividing by x − a. simplify (x^3 - 1)/(x - 1) Core Parametric equations and polar coordinates Curves traced by a parameter, and the (r, θ) description of the plane. polar form of 1 + i

The bridge between algebra and calculus: functions studied for their own sake (polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic) plus the complex numbers, sequences and series, conic sections and vectors that calculus will assume you know.

What is a function, really?

A rule that assigns exactly one output to each input. The vertical-line test on a graph is the same idea: no input may have two outputs.

Why do we need complex numbers?

Because x² + 1 = 0 has no real solution, and allowing one new number i with i² = −1 makes every polynomial equation solvable. They then turn out to describe rotation, waves and alternating current more naturally than real numbers do.
