COURSE OUTLINE IN PRE-CALCULUS

Course Title: PRE-CALCULUS


Course Code: MATHPREP
Number of Units: 3.0
Contact Hours: 3 Hours
Course Requirements: Written Exam, Discussion, Quizzes, Group Dynamic, Board Work,
Quick Quiz
Course Description: This course is intended to build upon and extend existing algebra and
geometry skills while preparing the student for a calculus course. It is important that the student
have a solid understanding of algebra II and geometry before attempting to take pre-calculus, as
these sets of mathematical skills will be called upon frequently throughout the course. The
concepts of mathematical relations and functions and their use to model, describe, and solve
problems are fundamental to mathematics. Through the use of new functions defined in
trigonometry (the study of triangles), the algebra and geometry involved in analytic geometry,
and with the aid of technology, you will learn how to become a more effective problem-solver.

Course Learning Outcomes:


1) Model situations appropriately and solve problems accurately using conic sections and
systems of nonlinear equations.
2) Keenly observe and investigate patterns, and formulate appropriate mathematical statements
and prove them using mathematical induction and/or Binomial Theorem.
3) Formulate and solve accurately situational problems involving circular functions.
4) Apply appropriate trigonometric identities in solving situational problems.
5) Formulate and solve accurately situational problems involving appropriate trigonometric
functions.
6) Formulate and solve accurately situational problems involving the polar coordinate system.
