Investigation of Topics from Pre
Calculus
1 Year 1 Unit
One of the main purposes for this course
is to help
prepare students for a course in
calculus. The curriculum
will strengthen a student’s skills
introduced
in the Math B curriculum and extend them
into the
traditional Pre Calculus domain. The
mathematical
investigations will take a graphing
calculator
approach with emphasis on mathematical
applications.
Topics to be investigated will include:
graphing
techniques (using the concepts of
symmetry, extent
of the curve, and asymptotes), vectors
with plane and
solid applications, rotation and
translation of axis,
polar coordinates, parametric equations,
arithmetic
and geometric sequences and series, the
theory of
limits and derivatives
Requirement: Must have passed Math B and the
Math B Regents.
A TI-84+ graphing calculator.
