Intended to prepare the student for the theory of Calculus I. Extensive work is done with polynomial and rational
functions, including the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, Rational Roots Theorem, complete factorization,
asymptotes and graphing. Detailed coverage of trigonometric functions (both right triangle and circular)
includes graphing, trigonometric identities, the solving of equations, the Laws of Sines and Cosines and Inverse
trigonometric functions. Other included topics are DeMoivre’s Theorem, polar coordinates, mathematical
induction, the algebra of matrices and the Binomial Theorem. The graphing calculator is used when appropriate.
