The geometry and algebra keep going on into the stratosphere of calculus and variations and multiple dimensions &tc, but at least one big chunk of math wraps up; the imaginary number i "completes" algebra. (And actually,... read more

...Topics include: graphing equations in two variables; functions and their graphs; linear, quadratic, polynomial, and rational functions; and exponential and logarithmic functions.
