Trigonometry is an important topic in this course. Associated topics, such as parametric equations, vectors, and polar coordinates are studied, as well as data analysis, sequences and series, and matrices. The study of mathematical induction and an introduction to limits serve as a transition for students who elect Advanced Placement Calculus H as their next course. Real life applications of all topics are fundamental in this course, and a graphing calculator is an indispensable tool used for investigations.
