Mathematics
Pre-Calculus
Grades: 11, 12
Couse description
In Pre-Calculus, as mathematical analysts, students investigate advanced mathematics concepts and use them to solve problems encountered in operating national parks, where God’s design is on full display. In doing so, they learn that all mathematics point to our Maker. The core components of the course include the study of functions and the development of skills necessary for future success in calculus. In addition, a detailed examination of trigonometry and elements of analytical geometry are incorporated into the curriculum.
Please review the course syllabus to be sure your student has completed all prerequisite material. If you have any questions about your student’s readiness to take this course, please enroll them in the placement test. This will provide you with accurate placement information so you can request the appropriate course level for your student’s success.
