The course will be for an entire year under the 4x4 schedule and will be two math credits. 1 Applied Geometry is a study of practical geometry designed for students whose mathematical needs do not include college-level mathematics. Formal proofs will be included but more emphasis will be placed on practical applications of theorems than on proofs. Concepts from solid and coordinate geometry will be included. Formal proofs are emphasized throughout as well as applications of theorems.
Emphasis is on algebraic processes and their use in problem solving.
The course will enhance the student's understanding of the function concept and deductive reasoning in algebra. It includes the circular and trigonometric functions as well as extending algebraic concepts. This semester course covers trigonometric and circular functions, graphing, and applications problems. The topics to be applied include sets, logic, decision making, modeling, counting techniques, matrices, iteration, recursion, and linear programming. Problem exercises will be based on mathematics at or beyond the Geometry level as appropriate.
