Intermediate algebra is not a transfer level course, since it does not transfer for college credit at the CSU or UC. It is considered college level at the community college since it meets associate degree minimum requirements.
Most college algebra courses are worth three or four credit hours.
Advanced Algebra incorporates advanced functions, trigonometry, and probability and statistics as students synthesize their prior knowledge in order to solve increasingly challenging problems.
In fact, the standard CA course in American colleges and universities is identical to high school Algebra II. Many students will have completed that course by the end of their junior year in high school.
Algebra is divided into different sub-branches such as elementary algebra, advanced algebra, abstract algebra, linear algebra, and commutative algebra.
Algebra III is basically advanced, college level algebra, so that would be using matrices, but larger ones, more complex trigonometry, precalc, etc.
You'll need to know the following topics in order to be prepared for College Algebra.Whole Numbers and Integers.Fractions and Decimals.Expressions and Equations.Geometry and Measurement.Probability and Statistics.Linear Equations and Functions.Systems of Equations and Word Problems.Exponents and Polynomials.More items...
Intermediate algebra is the next level of algebra after elementary algebra. At the secondary school level, typically one year is devoted to each of these courses, resulting in a two-year algebra sequence. This is often followed by a year of geometry.
Advanced Algebra is a one-year course in which students continue to study the algebraic concepts learned in Algebra II/Trigonometry. Topics include sequences and series, polynomial functions, and conic sections. Material taught in this course is very similar to that taught in Advanced Algebra 1, but at a faster pace.
You will learn about Numbers, Polynomials, Inequalities, Sequences and Sums, many types of Functions, and how to solve them. You will also gain a deeper insight into Mathematics, get to practice using your new skills with lots of examples and questions, and generally improve your mind.
College Algebra is not equivalent to Precalculus. Precalculus is a more advanced course than College Algebra. The prerequisite for Precalculus is a grade of C or better in College Algebra or the equivalent. By the equivalent, we mean a grade of B or better in one of the high school courses listed in (1) above.

Houston ISD’s dual credit program provides high school students the unique opportunity to obtain college credit that can lead to the completion of a postsecondary degree or certificate.
Dual Credit courses are offered in several instructional and program arrangements including international baccalaureate, advanced placement, and articulated postsecondary courses designed for advanced technical credit in the Houston Independent School District (HISD). The purpose of this evaluation was to determine the effect of dual credit enrollment on the academic performance of HISD high school students using results from the 2019 State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) Algebra I, Biology, English I, English II, and U.S. History End-of-Course (EOC) tests. The percentage of dual credit students relative to their non-dual credit peers who met the Approaches Student Standard was provided and disaggregated by key demographic and educational variables. Multiple regression was used to determine key demographic and educational predictors of performance on the 2019 STAAR EOCs. The college enrollment status of dual credit students from the class of 2017 was also provided.
Student enrollment in dual credit courses in 2018–2019 resulted in higher scale score points (ssp), 142.9 (U.S. History) to 412.6 (English I), on the 2019 STAAR EOC assessments, compared to students who were not enrolled in dual credit courses.
