This course combines the study of trigonometry, elementary functions, analytical geometry and math analysis topics as preparation for calculus. Topics include the study of complex numbers, polynomial, logarithmic, exponential , rational , right trigonometric and circular functions and their relations, inverses, and graphs, trigonometric identities and equations, solutions of right and oblique triangles, vectors, parametric equations and their graphs, the polar coordinate system, conic sections, and limits. The honors course prepares students for advanced course work and engages students in enrichment opportunities. Rigor is demonstrated through sophistication and acceleration in terms of thought-provoking learning activities, challenging assessments, and more complex text/materials. Diverse interests, cultures, perspectives, learning styles, and intelligences are cultivated and higher level critical and creative thinking skills such as interpretation, problem-solving, investigation, and logic are emphasized throughout the honors course.
