Course title

Honors Pre-Calculus MA405WA/MA406WB

Pre-requisite

Algebra 2 with teacher Rec. or Algebra 2 Honors

Course description

Honors Precalculus provides an advanced treatment of functions with a strong emphasis on trigonometry. Additional topics include sequences and series; vectors; conics and limits. This course is intended to prepare students for AP or college Calculus. An emphasis in this course will be on learning mathematics from four related perspectives: numerical; analytical; graphical and verbal. A graphing calculator is strongly recommended and a necessity for students enrolled in this course.
