This pre-calculus course is the culmination of all math courses, with the addition of Trigonometry.  Students learn how algebra and geometry are related and applied in the real world.

Topics include:

• Basic statistics, and sequences and series
• Number systems, graphs, systems of equations
• Functions, including polynomial functions, power functions and rational functions
• Exponential and logarithmic functions
• Trigonometric functions with real-world applications
• Analytic trigonometry and appropriate applications
• Analytic geometry in two and three dimensions
• SAT/ACT preparation throughout the year, skills essential for standardized testing.
• Development of logical reasoning and thinking skills
• Organization and study skills, to be a more independent learner

Students who complete this class should be well prepared to enter a college level calculus course.  It is imperative that students enrolling in PreCal have a working knowledge of Geometry and Algebra 2.  This is a very fast-paced class. Teacher recommendation is required for this class.  If you have questions about class placement, please contact me as early as possible so that decisions may be made in a timely manner to allow the student maximum success in their math studies.

Students should expect to spend 3 – 6 hours outside of class on their work per week. The class meets for 1 ½ hours on Mondays and Wednesdays for a total of 3 hours each week. This class will earn the student 1 high school honors credit in math.
