We will use the techniques of differentiation covered in the first semester to solve real-world problems. We will explore integration and find basic strategies to apply when finding area, volume and arc length of unusual shapes. Successful completion of both semesters will help prepare students for the College Board’s exam. The same textbook is also used for the first semester. Students will need access to a graphing calculator (e.g. TI-83+ or newer).

Students will need access to a graphing calculator (e.g. TI-83+ or newer), and an appropriate cable to connect their calculator with the computer and the TI-Connect software for file transfer.

Before enrolling, please visit our Calendar page to view start dates for this course.

Note:   AP exams are offered early in May.  If you enroll after the start date in an AP course, it is important that you adjust the pacing chart accordingly so you can complete your course before the scheduled AP exam dates.

Most AP courses consist of 2 semesters and you should complete semester 1 before starting semester 2.

• Pre-Algebra (ISBN# 978-0-07-865108-3)

Prerequisites: 8th Grade Math or General Mathematics, Pre-Algebra FHU

Description: The principle goal of Precalculus is to prepare you for the rigors of calculus. This course is designed to give you a better understanding of the concepts, functions, and applications of calculus, and to deepen your understanding of mathematical concepts previously studied to make the transition to calculus as smooth as possible. It is in Precalculus that all of the earlier material studied in mathematics begins to come together. Concepts and applications that might have seemed abstract and useless at times will take on new and more concrete meaning! Precalculus A will cover linear, quadratic, polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric equations and functions; graphing and analyzing these various types of functions and their transformations; linear and nonlinear inequalities. In Precalculus B we will dive into analytic trigonometry; and how to use the laws of trigonometry to solve triangles and represent vectors and further ease your transition into Calculus.
