This course is designed for those students that intend to pursue a career in any mathematics or science-related field. The course continues the study of functions that were introduced in previous mathematical courses but at a much deeper analytical level. The rigor of needed algebra skills and level of analysis is significantly increased in Precalculus. The first semester focuses on Polynomial, Rational, Trigonometric Functions, and Trigonometric Identities. A student must be willing to devote 30-60 minutes per day outside of class in order to practice problems to be successful on assessments in this class. At the end of this course students planning to continue the second semester will need to take the ALEKS test. A score of 30 must be obtained in order to continue in Precalculus.
