Pre-Calculus

Pre-Calculus is the study of trigonometric, linear, quadratic, polynomial, exponential, logarithmic, and rational functions and provides the fundamentals for Calculus. Conic sections, right and non-right triangle trigonometry, and exponential growth/decay are also studied. Graphing calculators are a tool to help analyze functions in the course. This course is recommended for students who plan to major in science, math, engineering, business, or math-related fields and who plan on taking Calculus. It is highly recommended that students have at least a C average in each semester of Algebra II in order to be successful in Pre-calculus. Daily homework should be expected. Graphing calculator required. TI 83+ or TI 84 series is recommended.
