Pre Calculus/Trigonometry Honors

PRE-CALCULUS/TRIGONOMETRY HONORS: uses advanced algebraic concepts that are handled from an algebraic as well as geometric standpoint.  The first three quarters of the course is devoted to a rigorous treatment of trigonometry, functions, vectors, logarithmic and exponential functions, parametric equations, and sequences and series. The last quarter of the course begins the study of Calculus.  The following Calculus topics are covered in depth: properties of limits, derivatives of power function, trigonometric functions, and exponential/logarithmic functions as well as derivatives of a product and quotient of two functions, and inverse trigonometric functions.  Differentiability and continuity as well as derivatives of parametric functions and implicit relations is covered .  (Use of TI-83 or TI-84 is mandatory).  .
