Pre-Calculus Mathematics is theoretical in nature with emphasis on the mastery of algebraic skills in preparation for higher level mathematics. This course will provide experiences that enable students to develop problem-solving skills, to gain confidence in their mathematical ability, to reason and to communicate mathematically.
Pre-Calculus students must have a strong background in and a facility for mathematics, as this course is demanding and briskly paced. Students are encouraged to write mathematics contests in addition to regular class work. This program provides a solid basis for the successful study of mathematics at the post-high school level.
Topics include:
- Transformation of functions
- Trigonometric functions
- Binomial theorem
- Polynomial functions
- Trigonometric equations and identities
- Exponents and logarithms
- Radical and rational functions
