Algebra 2 with Trigonometry Complete Course

A Full College Algebra & Pre-Calculus Course for High School Students

The AskDrCallahan Algebra 2 with Trigonometry Complete Course gives students a clear, thorough path through advanced high school mathematics while also serving as a full college-level College Algebra and Pre-Calculus course.

Unlike many high school Algebra 2 programs that only introduce topics briefly, this course follows a real college algebra textbook used on university campuses. Students learn the material at the level expected in college algebra and pre-calculus courses, providing excellent preparation for calculus, STEM majors, and college entrance exams such as the SAT and ACT.

Taught in the clear, conversational style AskDrCallahan courses are known for, the lessons focus on building deep understanding, strong problem-solving skills, and mathematical confidence.

What Students Learn

Throughout the course, students develop mastery in:

• Functions and advanced graphing

• Polynomial and rational functions

• Exponential and logarithmic functions

• Sequences and series

• Complex numbers

• Trigonometric functions and identities

• Applications of trigonometry

• Mathematical modeling and real-world problem solving

These topics form the essential bridge between algebra and calculus, preparing students for higher-level mathematics in college.

How the Course Works

Students work through the course using a widely used college algebra textbook, while the AskDrCallahan video instruction explains each concept step by step.

The teaching videos guide students through the key ideas, demonstrate example problems, and help students approach challenging topics with confidence.

Parents are supported with a complete Teacher’s Guide and syllabus, making it simple to schedule lessons, assign homework, and grade tests.

What’s Included

✔ Textbook

College Algebra with Trigonometry (7th Edition)

This is a college algebra textbook used on many university campuses. The course covers Chapters 1–8, which represent the standard material taught in Algebra 2 with Trigonometry or Pre-Calculus courses.

ISBN: 0072368691

We provide the textbook used to keep the cost much lower than purchasing a new college textbook.

✔ Student Solutions Manual

The Student Solutions Manual contains worked solutions to all odd-numbered problems in the textbook.

Students can use this to check their work and better understand the steps needed to solve challenging problems.

Common Questions

What if my student has already taken Algebra 2?

If your student has already completed Algebra 2 but has not studied trigonometry, this course can still be used.

The Teacher’s Guide includes instructions for using this course as a Trigonometry-focused class, allowing students to move directly to the trig material.

Is this the same as Pre-Calculus?

Yes. In many schools, Pre-Calculus is essentially Algebra 2 combined with Trigonometry.

Both courses cover topics such as:

• Functions and graphing

• Polynomials and exponentials

• Logarithms

• Trigonometry

These subjects prepare students for calculus and college entrance exams, which is why many schools use the terms Pre-Calculus and Algebra 2 with Trigonometry interchangeably.
