Introduction to Computer Science is an introductory-level course for students brand new to programming and computer science. In this course, you will learn problem-solving strategies, software design, and the foundations of computer science. This course prepares you for continuing study in computer science by teaching you how to think computationally and solve real-world problems. Students learn Python, which is a general-purpose programming language. It is most praised for its elegant syntax and readable code, and it's quite powerful. Python is used by many large organizations (Google and NASA for example) to do just about everything from building apps, analyzing data, system administration, etc.
Prerequisite: Introduction to Computer Science (preferred) | Grade Level(s): 10-12 | Credits: 1
The AP Computer Science Principles course is designed to be equivalent to a first-year semester introductory college computing course. In this course, students will develop computational thinking skills vital for success across all disciplines, such as using computational tools to analyze and study data and working with large data sets to analyze, visualize, and draw conclusions from trends. The course engages students in the creative aspects of the field by allowing them to develop computational artifacts based on their interests. Students will also develop effective communication and collaboration skills by working individually and collaboratively to solve problems, and will discuss and write about the impacts these solutions could have on their community, society, and the world. As an integral part of the rigor of the course, each AP student is expected to take the AP exam in May.
Prerequisite: Algebra II | Grade Level(s): 10-12 | Credits: 1
Mathematical Analysis develops students’ understanding of algebraic and transcendental functions, parametric and polar equations, sequences and series, and vectors. The content of this course serves as appropriate preparation for a calculus course. Graphing calculators, computers, and other appropriate technology tools will be used to assist in teaching and learning. Graphing utilities enhance the understanding of realistic applications through modeling and aid in the investigation of functions and their inverses. They also provide a powerful tool for solving and verifying solutions to equations and inequalities.
Prerequisite: Math Analysis | Grade Level(s): 10-12 | Credits: 1
Presents analytic geometry and calculus including functions, limits, derivatives, differentials, indefinite integrals, definite integrals, and applications. The course is intended for students who have a thorough knowledge of analytic geometry and elementary functions in addition to college preparatory algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. Advanced Placement Calculus is equivalent to an entry level college calculus course and is designed to prepare students for the Advanced Placement Mathematics Examination.
