Pre-AP Trigonometry/Pre-Calculus
This course is designed to be in preparation for Calculus or AP Calculus. A graphing calculator is recommended. The first part of the course includes a study of six basic functions of trigonometry, solutions of right and oblique triangles, identities, and complex numbers. The calculator is used as an aide to computations. The second half of the course gives a review study of straight lines, conic sections, simplification of equations, algebraic curves, transcendental curves, a completed study of straight lines, simplification of equations, polar coordinates, and an introduction to limits and derivatives
