Year, 2 credits

Prerequisite: A in Algebra II, or C in Algebra II C and B in Geometry C

 

This course is primarily designed for the student interested in engineering, applied mathematics, or other science-related fields.  A very strong background in Algebra is essential.  The relationship between science and mathematics is emphasized with a more sophisticated approach to study required, such as being able to read and understand mathematical symbols and paragraph proofs.  The course adds to the understanding of previous mathematics courses, refines mathematical skills, and provides additional background for the science major in order that he may succeed in college science and mathematics.  The topics include trigonometry and analytic geometry.  A scientific or graphing calculator is required.
