Foundations of Math 12
MFOM-12-4S Credits: 4
Prerequisite: Foundations 11 /Pre-Calculus 11 – recommended grade of C+ of higher and strong work ethic.
This academic course is designed to provide students with the mathematical and critical thinking skills identified for college or university studies in programs like Nursing, Geography, Social Sciences, or Arts. Some universities may accept Foundations of Math 11 and Foundations of Math 12 in lieu of Pre-Calculus 11 as an entrance requirement. Students need to determine if this course is an accepted entrance requirement for the program and post secondary institution of their choosing. Topics include: regression and regression analysis, logic and reasoning, counting patterns, relations and functions, and probability and statistics.
Pre-Calculus 12
MPREC12-4S Credits: 4
Prerequisite: Pre-Calculus 11
Recommended grade of C+ of higher and strong work ethic.
This academic course is designed to provide students with the mathematical and critical thinking skills identified for college or university studies in Sciences, Mathematics, and Engineering, but may be the prerequisite course for other areas of post-secondary study. Topics include; transformations of functions, combinations of functions, the graphing and solving of; polynomial, exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions and equations, trigonometric identities, conics, and geometric sequences and series.
Calculus 12
MCALC12-4S Credits: 4
Prerequisite: Pre-Calculus 11 and recommended is Pre-Calculus 12
Co-requisite: Pre-Calculus 12 with a C or better
Calculus deals with the analysis of quantities, which are changing with time. The major ideas are the Derivative and rates of change. Calculus is also the starting point to most post-secondary studies in Mathematics, Business, Engineering, Finance, and Sciences.
This course is approved for entrance to UBCO, UBC, SFU and UVic. Highly recommended for those students going on in Math, Science Finance and Business programs.
Pre-Calculus 12 AP / AP Calculus 12
MPREC12-4S-AP/ ACAL-12H4S
Credits: 8 Prerequisite: Pre Calculus 11 with at least a strong B and a strong work ethic.
This is a two semester course (one full year) in which students will register for Pre-Calculus 12 AP in first semester and AP Calculus 12 in second semester. Upon completion, students will earn 8 credits (for Pre Calculus 12 and AP Calculus 12). This structure essentially doubles the amount of time students have to fully understand the material and critical thinking skills in both PreCalculus 12 and AP Calculus 12. The result should be improved grades for Pre-Calculus 12 and AP Calculus 12. Students wishing to opt out of this two semester structure have two options. They may do so at the end of semester 1, in which case they will receive credit for PreCalculus 12. If students choose not to write the AP exam they may focus on the regular Calculus 12 content through semester 2 and receive credit at the end of the year for Pre-Calculus 12 and Calculus 12.
Geometry 12
MGMT-12-4S
Credits: 4
This a great course intended for students planning to attend a post-secondary school in Sciences, Physics, all areas of Engineering (mechanical, civil, electrical and all others specialties), Drafting, Human Kinetics, Mathematics, and Construction. Students need to have either Pre-Calculus 11 or Foundations 11 to be successful in this course. The topics include geometric constructions, parallel and perpendicular lines, circle geometry, tangents, geometric proof, isometries and non-Euclidean geometries.
