Precalculus Class Curriculum

    This is an intensive class, designed to prepare students to take the AP Precalculus exam. 

    The main topic of Precalculus is Function Theory.  This includes properties of functions, inverses, continuity, odd/even functions, increasing/decreasing functions. 

   A good part of the course is spent on deep analysis of logarithmic and exponential functions, trigonometric functions, inverse trig functions, polynomial and rational functions, piece-wise functions and others. Students have worked with all of these previously, but now the topics become much deeper and more thorough. 

    Counting and Probability, Sequences and Series, Analytic Trigonometry, and Matrices are also studied. 

   The course culminates with a preview of Calculus, as we discuss the concepts of a limit and the derivative.
