Topics include trigonometric functions and their inverses, trigonometric identities, graphs of trigonometric functions, polar coordinates, polynomial functions, rational functions, combinations and permutations, theory of equations, arithmetic and geometric progressions, mathematical induction, and parametric equations. A graphing calculator is required. Several SAT and ACT sample tests are given and thoroughly discussed periodically throughout the quarter. The course ends with an extensive group project, which incorporates most of the topics covered in CP Visual Basic 1 and CP Visual Basic 2. Topics include one and two dimensional arrays, strings, pointers, structs, and non-text files.
Students compare efficiencies of searching and sorting algorithms.
This course is intended for students who meet the expectations for the honors mathematics program. Algebra 1 Honors covers all the topics of Algebra 1 College Prep in greater depth and at a faster rate, plus the additional topics of linear equations related to triangles and linear regression. More emphasis is placed on precision in language, rigor, and the use of technology. Geometry Honors covers all the topics of Geometry College Prep in greater depth and at a faster rate. More emphasis is placed upon precision in language, proofs by direct and indirect methods and algebraic techniques.
