Pre-Calculus, as its name indicates, is designed to prepare you for Calculus, either in high school or college. Whether you have plans to go on to Calculus or another math class, concepts learned in Pre-Calculus will also prepare students for College Algebra or any higher-level math course. Topics include understanding algebraic and polynomial functions, exponential and logarithmic functions, and conic sections. Students will also study applications of trigonometry, trigonometric identities and equations, and mathematical induction. In addition to content mastery, the course goals are to further develop students’ problem solving and critical thinking skills. Students should be prepared to be challenged and work hard. Technology will be incorporated throughout the curriculum. Students will learn the concepts needed to help them succeed in the following course of Calculus, College Algebra, Linear Algebra.
Students will learn/review/reinforce:
• Functions and Their Graphs
• Polynomial & Rational Functions
• Exponential & Logarithmic Functions
• Trigonometric Functions
• Trigonometric Identities & Equations
