Legacy High School Home Math Department Home Adams 12 Home

The following courses are offered to juniors and seniors:

AP Calculus AB

• The purpose of this course is to develop students’ general understanding of calculus and the abilities to perform its techniques, as well as to prepare for the AP Calculus AB Exam in the spring. Successful performance on the AP Exam may earn college credit.

• Prerequisite: Trig/Pre-Calculus or equivalent math. Teachers strongly recommend a grade of “C” or higher in Trig/Pre-Calculus to be successful in this AP course.

Calculus II

• This course includes the study of derivatives, differentiation, integration, the definite and indefinite integral, sequences, series, and applications of calculus. This course is aligned with college level courses at the University of Colorado through a partnership with CU Denver. Students must earn a grade of C or higher and pay tuition to receive college credit.

• Prerequisite: Recommend students receive a 3 or higher on the AP Calculus Exam.

Calculus III

• This course continues the study of derivatives, definite and indefinite integrals, and applications of calculus begun in AP Calculus and continued in Calculus II. Calculus III applies the skills from the previous calculus classes to three-dimensional and vector applications and concepts.

• Prerequisite: Successful completion of Calculus II.

AP Statistics

• Following the College Board's suggested curriculum designed to parallel college-level statistics courses, this course introduces students to the major concepts and tools for collecting, analyzing, and drawing conclusions from data. Students are exposed to four broad conceptual themes: exploring data, sampling and experimentation, anticipating patterns, and statistical inference.

• Prerequisite: Integrated Math III. Teachers strongly recommend a grade of “C” or higher in Integrated Math III to be successful in this AP course.

Math for Liberal Arts

• This course highlights connections between mathematics and the society in which we live and is intended for liberal arts majors. Topics include set theory and logic, mathematical modeling, probability and statistical methods, and consumer mathematics. The last four units of study will span the Spring semester. These four units correspond with the Front Range Community College MAT 120 Mathematics for Liberal Arts. All students must register for the Front Range concurrent enrollment credit in the Spring semester. Successful students will be awarded 4 CE math credits for MAT 120.

• Prerequisite: Integrated Math III or equivalent. This course is reserved for seniors only.

Discrete

• This course includes the study of topics such as number theory, discrete probability, set theory, symbolic logic, Boolean algebra, combinatorics, recursion, basic algebraic structures and graph theory.

• Prerequisites: Integrated Math III. This class is reserved only for juniors and seniors. Teacher placement is the only way to get into Discrete Math.

Business Math

• This course introduces students to the mathematical skills associated with personal finance, the decision-making techniques needed to be wise consumers. This course will include a variety of techniques to approach and solve problems using algebraic methods, common mathematical operations, and graphical modeling.

• Prerequisite: This class is only offered to seniors. Students must have successfully completed Integrated Math 2. Students who have not passed Integrated Math 3 by the end of their junior year will be considered for this course.
