Precalculus

Precalculus is a course designed to prepare students for topics covered in an elementary calculus course at the college level. It begins with a comprehensive study of functions and  moves into an analysis of rudimentary calculus concepts such as the difference quotient and  the notion of “taking a limit.” In addition to introducing students to terminology and  concepts essential to the study of calculus, this course should also help students develop  reasoning and analytical skills which may be applied to problems outside the typical realm of  mathematics.
