Honors Advanced Mathematics or Advanced Math plus a Limits Course. This honors course is designed to prepare students for advanced placement in college mathematics. The course follows the Advanced Placement BC syllabus developed by the College Entrance Examination Board. Students who take this course are expected to take the AP exam in the spring. This course is an introduction to probability and statistics.
Material covered includes probability of single and multiple events and conditional probability.
Work in statistics includes measures of central tendency, measures of dispersion, normal distributions, sampling and hypothesis testing. This course gives students the opportunity to explore the techniques of problem solving through actual problem solving. Although much of the work applies to problems with a numeric solution, the course is designed to improve the student's approach to all problem solving situations. If a junior takes this course, it must be a sixth course. Once a student shows mastery of the initial concepts in the paper and pencil mode, an introduction to a computer based system will occur.
