Precalculus - Sections A + B

Precalculus is about building the tools of mathematical problem-solving needed for introductory calculus. We assume enough prior familiarity with algebra to be comfortable with functions and their graphs and with manipulating linear and quadratic equations. The key question behind precalculus could reasonably be phrased as: how are functions applied to real-world situations? Closely related are the further questions: how are functions related to their graphs? And what does the graph of a function tell us about its real-world consequences? All three of these ideas will underlie the various topics in this course. 

Self-motivation, strong independent learning, and good study habits are essential for success in this highly accelerated and individually paced program. Not all students finish the entire curriculum. 

Section A and Section B have different instructors but cover the same course material.
