trigonometric functions, graphing trigonometric functions, proving trigonometric identities, and problem solving techniques. Graphing calculators are introduced and used as a method of analysis. 2053: Pre-Calculus (H)* 5 credits per semester Prerequisite: B or better in Algebra II/Trig (H) & index score > 160 or A or better in Algebra II/Trig CP & index score > 170 MATHEMATICS 2048: College Algebra/Trigonometry CP* 5 credits per semester Prerequisite: C or better in Algebra II/Trig This is a pre-calculus course that prepares students for AP calculus. The course covers traditional precalculus topics including linear and quadratic functions, polynomial and rational functions, trigonometry, trigonometric identities and equations, the conic sections, exponential and logarithmic functions, and an introduction to calculus. An emphasis is placed on higher level thinking in addition to the mastering of basic skills. This course begins with an extensive review and solidifying of algebraic concepts including equation solving, functions, graphing, factoring, exponents and logarithms, and conic sections. The trigonometry topics include radian measure, graphing, solving triangles, complex numbers, proving trigonometric identities, and vectors. Further topics may include matrices, limits, and an introduction to calculus. 2047: Statistics CP* 5 credits per semester Prerequisite: B or better in Algebra II/Trig CP or B or better in College Algebra/Trig or C or better in Algebra II/Trig (H) 2042: Pre-Calculus CP* 5 credits per semester Prerequisite: C or better in Algebra II/Trig (H) or B or better in Algebra II/Trig CP or B or better in College Algebra/Trig This is an introductory statistics course that focuses on data and statistical reasoning. Topics covered include data organization (distributions, density curves, the normal distribution, correlation, and least squares regression), data production (census, survey, experiment, observational study), probability (models, random variables, binomial and geometric distributions), and inference (tests of significance, means and proportions, chi-square procedures). Graphing techniques will include stem plots, histograms, cumulative frequency plots, boxplots, and scatterplots. The course covers traditional pre-calculus topics including linear and quadratic functions, polynomial and rational functions, trigonometry, trigonometric identities and equations, the conic sections, exponential and logarithmic functions, and an introduction to calculus. 2045: Mathematical Studies IB SL* 5 credits per semester Prerequisite: B or better in Algebra II/Trig (H) & index score > 160 or A or better in Algebra II/ Trig CP & index score > 170 2046: AP Statistics* 5 credits per semester Prerequisite: B or better in Algebra II/Trig (H) & index score > 160 or A or better in Algebra II/Trig CP & index score > 170 This course is designed to prepare students for the IB Math Studies exam and to give them a solid foundation for IB Math SL and HL. The topics include algebra and numbers, sets, logic and probability, functions, geometry and trigonometry, statistics, financial math, and an introduction to differential calculus. In addition to these topics, students are required to complete a portfolio, demonstrating their understanding of mathematical concepts and processes, mathematical writing, and thoughtful reflection.
