Pre-Calculus prepares students for calculus and college level math with interactive online lessons and advanced problem solving. Students will explore the purpose of calculus and mathematical analysis while they expand their algebraic knowledge through the realm of trigonometry. With a clear, step-by-step delivery, this online course covers a wide range of mathematical concepts including an in-depth observation of math functions, quadratic inequalities, logarithms, probabilities, and permutation. Lessons are interactive to encourage retention of complex information and provide learning tools to clarify complicated mathematic operations.
Pre-calculus is a full-year, high school credit course that is intended for the student who has successfully mastered the core algebraic and conceptual geometric concepts covered in the prerequisite courses: Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II. The course primarily focuses on the skills and methods of analytic geometry and trigonometry while investigating further relationships in functions, probability, number theory, limits, and the introduction of derivatives.
