Advanced Courses
Course: 141302, 141303
Grade Level: 11, 12
Credits: 2, Yearlong Course
Prerequisite: Advanced Algebra
This course builds on the topics in Advanced Algebra to explore algebra, probability, and statistics topics in context. Topics include probability calculations and models, descriptive statistics, savings and borrowing models, management science, and linear programming. Students who earn 80% or higher (in each semester) and enroll in Central Lakes College may enter MATH 1460 Introduction to Statistics or MATH 1441 Concepts in Mathematics at Central Lakes College within two years without taking a placement test.
Course: 141308, 141309
Grade Level: 11, 12
Credits: 2, Yearlong Course
Prerequisite: CIS Pre-Calculus II
This course is the study of differential calculus. A derivative is a slope at an instant, which allows students to find rates of changes on curves and predict maximum and minimum values of functions. Students will study integral calculus and the fundamental theorem of calculus. These two concepts will allow a student to find the area and volume of any shape bounded by a function.
Course: 141310, 141311
Grade Level: 11, 12
Credits: 2, Yearlong Course
Prerequisite: Advanced Algebra
Statistics is the tool used to make decisions in the fields of business, social sciences, human sciences, and political science. Individuals wishing to succeed in these fields should have a working knowledge of statistics. Topics include exploratory data analysis, experimental design, probability, sampling and probability distributions, and statistical inference. College bound students with a strong advanced algebra background should be successful.
Course: 143304
Grade Level: 11, 12
Credits: 1
Additional Credit Option: CLC MATH 1520 – 3 cr.
Prerequisite: Advanced Algebra
Required: High School GPA 2.8
Designed to prepare students for College Algebra. This course will intensify the study of concepts first seen in Intermediate Algebra, as well as introduce topics including College Algebra. A basic understanding of solving equations and using function notation will be expected, so that students can investigate solving systems of equations in three variables, systems of nonlinear equations, polynomial equations, and basic exponential and logarithmic equations. Additionally, function operations and graphing function transformations will be introduced and explored. This course utilizes flex scheduling, providing students the option to work independently outside the classroom or collaborate with the teacher on a more individualized basis.
Course: 143305
Grade Level: 11, 12
Credits: 1
Additional Credit Option: CLC MATH 1470 – 3 credits
Prerequisite: CIS Intro to College Algebra
Required: Required: High School GPA 2.8
This course includes topics such as functions and graphs, equations and inequalities, polynomial functions, rational functions, inverse functions, exponential functions, logarithmic functions, sequences and series, systems of equations and inequalities, and problem solving. A graphing approach is used and therefore the use of a graphing calculator will be highly emphasized. This course utilizes flex scheduling, providing students the option to work independently outside the classroom or collaborate with the teacher on a more individualized basis.
Course: 141306
