From the college algebra course description at my college:
Quote:
This course offers a comprehensive coverage of functions (polynomial, rational, root, logarithmic, exponential), and their graphs; conic sections; inequalities; complex numbers; the fundamental theorem of algebra; systems of equations; matrices; and linear and quadratic modeling. Additional topics may include sequence and series and the binomial theorem.

Though perhaps the prerequisite to college algebra, intermediate algebra might be more telling:
Quote:
Course content includes: sets and interval notation; functions and relations; more polynomial factoring; compound, absolute value, and quadratic inequalities; rational exponents and radicals; radical equations; complex numbers; rational expressions; rational equations; more literal equations; systems of linear equations; logarithms; logarithmic equations; logarithmic and exponential functions; word problems, variation, and modeling; introcutory trigonometric concepts and graphing, composition of functions, inverse functions, exponential equations, graphing parabolas and circles.

Study up on these things.
