This book is designed to help teachers implement the marvelous power of TI-nspire (Touchpad version) in the teaching of Algebra 2. Keying sequences are provided to help students acquire the concepts of advanced algebra in a step-by-step fashion, while progressing smoothly through the menus of this exciting new technology. Worked examples and comprehensive sets of exercises with complete solutions are provided. Screen displays on the page enable students to connect their work on the handheld or on the computer screen to the examples in the text. On completing this book, students will have been exposed to all the important concepts in Algebra 2 and will have had numerous experiences using graphs, spreadsheets and the calculator commands to solve real-world problems. The fundamental skills of algebra are taught in concert with the appropriate use of the TI-nspire commands. This book, together with Algebra 2 with TI-nspire: Semester 1 constitute a full course in Algebra 2. Both the pedagogy and content have been developed to implement the new Common Core State Standards for Mathematics Unit 7: Rational and Radical Functions & Equations Unit 8: Exponential & Logarithmic Functions & Equations Unit 9: Trigonometric Functions & Equations Unit 10: Trigonometric Identities Unit 11: Analytic Geometry: Conics & Polar Coordinates Unit 12: Permutations, Combinations & Probability Unit 13: Statistics

About the Author:
Brendan Kelly is Professor Emeritus at the Faculty of Education, University of Toronto (OISE/UT). He holds two doctorate degrees: a Ph.D. in Mathematics (Number Theory) from U. of T. and an Ed.D. in Computer Applications from the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education. In his capacity as senior author for the Pearson Education Publishing Company, Dr. Kelly has authored the MathQuest Mathematics Program (for elementary students) and the Addison-Wesley Secondary School Mathematics Program (for students in grades 9-12).Both programs have been the standard in schools during the past two decades. Dr. Kelly has authored more than sixty books. Professor Kelly has spoken at more than 100 conferences and has been the keynote speaker at various conferences across Canada and the United States. He was the closing speaker at the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Conference in Chicago at which there were over 20,000 in attendance. In 1989, Dr. Kelly founded Brendan Kelly Publishing Inc. that now offers more than 20 titles including secondary school mathematics books that help teachers use Texas Instrument Graphing Calculators to teach mathematics. These books are sold widely throughout the United States and Canada and have been translated into Japanese for sale in their schools.
