Precalculus is a course that serves as a foundation for more advanced mathematical concepts and ties all of the skills from the entirety of prior years together. It builds on algebra, geometry, and trigonometry, preparing students for subjects like calculus. In pre-calculus, students deepen their understanding of functions, equations, and graphs. They also explore topics like polynomial and rational functions, exponential and logarithmic functions, and trigonometric functions. Other key areas include conic sections, systems of equations, and complex numbers. 

Problem-solving and critical thinking are emphasized, as students work with real-world applications and explore the connections between various mathematical concepts. Whether interested in pursuing coursework in calculus or using this as a capstone of high school math, this course will prepare all students to succeed on the SAT II subject test as well as a following course in college level calculus.
