Pre-Calculus Honors (1.0 credit)

The purpose of this course is to enable students to develop concepts and skills in advanced algebra, analytic geometry, and trigonometry. This course covers the traditional topics needed as a preparation for calculus and other higher math classes. Upon successful completion of this course a student will understand polynomial and rational functions, logarithmic and exponential functions, right triangle trig, the trigonometric functions, trig equations, and trig identities, polar coordinates and complex numbers, sequences and series, and data analysis.

Honors level courses require students to utilize higher order thinking skills such as analysis and synthesis, while completing more rigorous assignments. In addition, more emphasis is placed on research mastery and project based learning.
