This class starts from Chapter 1 and finishes the full year Precalculus curriculum in 6 weeks in Summer. It's good for students who are ready to learn ahead in a fast pace or review and solidify Precalculus skills. All class materials in PDF format will be uploaded to the class page.
Pre-Calculus is a one school year math curriculum that studies polynomial, rational, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions, with applications to problems in mathematics and the sciences. Successfully completing this course will prepare students for Chemistry, Physics, advanced math classes in high school, and the SAT Math Level 2 subject test.
The full course takes 2 semesters, or one school year, from Sept-Jun to complete.
This summer Pre-Calculus course is an accelerated version over six weeks. Due to the time constraint, we will not be able to cover every chapter in detail. Once completed, however, students will have a strong backbone in Pre-Calculus that they can use in the full year-long course.
