Precalculus

This course builds a strong foundation in the algebraic, functional, and trigonometric concepts essential for the study of calculus.

Students will develop proficiency in solving equations and identities, performing advanced polynomial factoring, and constructing mathematical models.

The curriculum emphasizes the analysis and graphing of linear, polynomial, exponential, logarithmic, rational, and trigonometric functions, with attention to function behavior and transformations.

Learners will strengthen their ability to interpret relationships among symbolic, graphical, and numerical representations of functions and apply these skills to real-world quantitative problems and modeling contexts.

By the end of the course, students will have developed a cohesive conceptual framework that supports success in calculus, data science, engineering, and other advanced quantitative disciplines.
