This course is not as rigorous as precalculus advanced and assumes no prior exposure to trigonometry. Pre-calculus taught in the context of real world problems. This is a more rigorous course than regular pre-calculus and assumes an introductory knowledge of trigonometry. Students are taught to solve problems from a graphical as well as an algebraic approach. Applications of the topics taught are stressed and reinforced.
Discrete mathematics is described by many as the math of our time.
Discrete mathematics allows student to explore unique problems that are not always solvable through equation or formulas. Students are called on to solve problems by developing a model or analyzing special cases to arrive at a solution. Topics covered include graph theory, matrices, recursion, counting, and socla choices. This course of differential and integral calculus includes such topics as analytical geometry, limits, related rates, maxima and minima, areas, volumes, and various methods of integration. This course will follow the outline established by the advanced placement program available in the high school guidance office.
