Pre-Calculus (H)

This course focuses on preparing students to be successful in AP Calculus BC and college-level Calculus courses. It is foundational for advanced high school physics courses, and the course is designed for students with high mathematic abilities.

This is a Pre-Calculus course that prepares students to be successful in AP Calculus BC. This course moves at a fast pace and covers all major topics in trigonometry, including standard properties of trigonometric functions, inverse trigonometric functions, radians, Laws of Sines and Cosines, double and half-angle formulas, identities, complex numbers, matrices, determinants, polar coordinates, and polar equations. The Pre-Calculus portion explores three methods of solving systems of equations: algebraic, analytic, and graphing calculators. Pre-Calculus topics include vectors in two and three dimensions, parametric equations, conic sections in parametric and polar forms, sequences, series, and math induction. This course includes a formal introduction to calculus, limits and continuity, derivatives and Calculus A topics to prepare for AP Calculus BC.

Special Note: A TI-84+ graphing calculator is required.
