Course Description
Pre-Calculus weaves together previous study of algebra, geometry, and mathematical functions into a
preparatory course for calculus. The course focuses on mastery of critical skills and exposure to new
skills necessary for success in subsequent math courses. Throughout the course, Common Core
standards are taught and reinforced as the student learns how to apply the concepts in real life situations.
Topics include fundamental concepts of Algebra, functions and graphs, polynomials and rational
functions, exponential and logarithmic functions, trigonometric functions, analytic trigonometry, topics in
trigonometry, systems of equations and inequalities, matrices and determinants, conic sections and
analytic geometry, sequences, induction, probability, and an introduction to Calculus. Pre-Calculus Part I
includes seven multiple choice lesson exams and a midterm written exam that requires the student to
demonstrate understanding by showing work. Pre-Calculus Part II includes multiple choice lesson exams
and a final written exam that requires the student to demonstrate understanding by showing work, as well
as a multiple choice comprehensive final exam that will cover both parts I and II of Pre-Calculus.

Course Learning Objectives


Upon completion of this course, you should be able to:
 Recall and apply basic algebra skills.
 Recall the definition of a function, basics of functions and their graphs, function operations, and
function transformations.
 Learn the basics of limits to help with the beginning of the calculus course.
 Recognize various kinds of functions (including polynomial, rational, radical, exponential, and
logarithmic functions), analyze their behavior, and use the properties of these functions to solve
equations and application problems.
 Define trigonometric functions; understand the right triangle trigonometry and unit circle.
 Know and apply identities involving the trigonometric functions.
 Recognize and solve systems of linear and nonlinear equations and inequalities.
 Recognize the use of arithmetic and geometric sequences, use summation notation to represent
a series, understand and use the Binomial theorem and understand mathematical induction.
 Recognize conic sections and their geometric properties.
 Understand the basic concepts of limits
