Precalculus
Precalculus Grades 11-12 1 Credit
Students have the option of taking either Honors or Regular Pre-Calculus.
Precalculus is intended to prepare students to take higher level math courses including Calculus or a Dual Enrollment course through a local University. Students extend their understanding of complex numbers to points in the complex plane and further study the relationship between exponential and logarithmic functions. The course progresses through a study of functions and their graphs and students learn additional techniques for solving equations. Utilizing the Mathematical Practice Standards, together with the content standards, students experience mathematics as a coherent, useful, and logical subject that makes use of their ability to make sense of problem situations. Topics include complex numbers, transformations, vectors, matrices, rational and exponential functions, trigonometry, sequences, limits, derivatives, integrals, probability and statistics.
