Pre-Calculus is 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.
F6: PreCalculus A takes one semester (usually fall semester) to complete. After this course, students can register for F6: PreCalculus B, which will be the second half of the course.
