This is an intensive class, designed to prepare students to take the AP Precalculus exam next spring.
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 thorough.
Counting and Probability, Sequences and Series, Analytic Trigonometry, Matrices are also studied.
The course culminates with a preview of Calculus, as we discuss the concepts of a limit and the derivative.
