Topics include trigonometric ratios, right triangles, oblique triangles, trigonometric functions, graphing, vectors, and complex numbers. Upon completion, students should be able to apply the above principles of trigonometry to problem solving and communication. This is the first of two courses designed to emphasize topics which are fundamental to the study of calculus. Upon completion, students should be able to solve practical problems and use appropriate models for analysis and predictions. This course is a laboratory for MAT 171.
Emphasis is placed on experiences that enhance the materials presented in the class.
Upon completion, students should be able to solve problems, apply critical thinking, work in teams, and communicate effectively. This is the second of two courses designed to emphasize topics which are fundamental to the study of calculus. Emphasis is placed on properties and applications of transcendental functions and their graphs, right and oblique triangle trigonometry, conic sections, and vectors. Upon completion, students should be able to solve practical problems and use appropriate models for analysis and prediction. This course is a laboratory for MAT 172.
