Accelerated Pre-Calculus Honors

Grades Course Open To: 10-11-12

Credit: 1.0 - Honors credit

Prerequisite: Grades of B or better in Accelerated Algebra II Honors, Accelerated Geometry Honors and Accelerated Trigonometry Honors

This course is a continuation of the “accelerated mathematics sequence,” introduces students to advanced mathematical concepts, and serves as a preparatory course for AP Calculus BC. The curriculum is based on materials developed for the Mathematics Investigations course offered by the Illinois Math & Science Academy (IMSA), and concentrates on the study of matrices, functions (linear, polynomial, rational, logarithmic, exponential, parametric and piece-wise), series and sequences, theory of equations and analytic geometry, and also provides an introduction to combinatorics. Students enrolled in this course must have a good grasp of algebraic, geometric and trigonometric concepts.
