I. COURSE DESCRIPTION: The course builds upon the students’ knowledge on properties of the real number system, operations on different types of algebraic
expressions, and the solution of various types of equations and inequalities. The course also covers the prerequisites to trigonometry and calculus, specifically transcendental
and non-transcendental functions, including the characteristics of their graphs and applications. It serves as a foundation for future study in various fields in mathematics.
Students of this course will use hands-on materials, calculators and computer applications/ software when needed in solving problems where the algebra concepts are
applied. The course also aims to enable students to achieve thorough grasp of circular and trigonometric functions, solutions to triangles, trigonometric identities and the polar
coordinate system that will translate into proficient application of these concepts in problem solving and readiness for higher mathematics. Students of this course will engage
in inquiry learning and problem-solving using computer applications/software and other technological devices.

1. PRE-REQUISITE : None
