Prerequisite: Pass Algebra II
This is an integrated
course in college algebra, plane trigonometry, and analytic geometry with an
introduction to the concepts of limits.
Emphasis is placed on the meaning and analysis of methods. Use is made of sets, inequalities, absolute
values, graphs, and the axioms of the number field. This course is NOT the preferred prerequisite
to Calculus.
Trigonometry is taught from circular functions and
correlated with the solution of triangles.
Attention is given to the graphing of the trigonometric functions and
solving identities. Exponential and
logarithmic functions are also taught. Heavy emphasis is placed on the utilization
of a graphing calculator which is recommended for each student.

portion are sets, inequalities, absolute value, graphs, logarithms, function
analysis, matrices, polar coordinates, sequences and series, vectors, and combinatorics.
Trigonometry is taught from circular
functions and correlated with the solution of triangles. Attention is given to solving identities and

Prerequisite: Pass Pre-Calculus Pre-AP
This is a full-year course
in the calculus of functions of a single variable. It includes all topics covered in AP Calculus
AB plus additional topics such as parametric, polar and vector functions,

Prerequisite:
Successful completion of Algebra II and concurrent enrollment in a math
course above Algebra II
Students will learn the
fundamentals of structured programming with an emphasis on Object Oriented
Design. The language used will be
JAVA. Successful completion of the
course is comparable to an introductory Computer Science course at a major
university or college. Students will be
prepared to take the AP Computer Science A test. Some lab time will be allowed but much of
the lab work will be done outside of the normal class schedule. A
personal computer capable of operating JAVA is strongly suggested.
