23321-23322 Precalculus with Trigonometry

(Credit - 1) (Elective) (Semester) (Grade: 12)
 
Prerequisite:
 Pre‐Calculus
 with
Trigonometry
 and
 1.)
 The
 student
 has
 a
cumulative 
G.P.A. 
of
 3.00
 or
 above, 
or
 2.)
 The
 student 
has 
a 
3.00
 G.P.A.
 or 
above 
in
 previous 
related
 course
 work.

 Exceptions 
to
 this
 prerequisite
 can
 be 
made
 via
 a
 written 
application
 process.

 Applications
 can 
be 
obtained
 at
 the 
guidance 
office.
 

The 
objectives
 of
 calculus
 are 
primarily 
concerned 
with 
developing
 the
 students’
 understanding 
of
 the
 concepts
 of
 calculus
 and providing 
experience
 with 
its 
methods 
and
 applications.

 The
 course 
will 
emphasize 
a 
multi‐representational 
approach
 to calculus,
 with
 concepts,
 results, 
and
 problems
 being
 expressed
 geometrically,
 numerically,
 analytically,
 and
 verbally.

 The
 connections
 among
 these 
representations
 also 
are 
important. Broad 
concepts
 and
 widely
 applicable
 methods
 will 
be emphasized.
 The 
focus 
of
 the
 course 
is
 neither 
manipulation
 nor 
memorization 
of 
an
 extensive 
taxonomy 
of
 functions, 
curves,
 theorems, or problem
 types.
 Thus, although 
facility with
 manipulations and 
computational competence
 are important
 outcomes, 
they
 are 
not
 the 
cores
 of
 this 
course.
 Students,
 and 
the 
teacher, 
in 
order
 to
 reinforce 
the 
relationships
 among
 the 
multiple
 representations
 of
 functions,
 to
 confirm
 written
 work,
 to
 implement
 experimentation,
 and
 to 
assist
 in
 interpreting
 results, 
will
 use 
technology 
regularly. A 
student 
must 
be
 willing 
to 
devote approximately 
five 
(5)
 hours 
per
 week 
outside
 of
 class
 time
 to
 be
 successful 
in
 this 
course.
