College Prep Precalculus - Cushing Academy
Have you ever wondered how your previous mathematics courses fit together? In College Prep Precalculus not only will you review important concepts from algebra, geometry, and basic trigonometry, but you will also explore how they interconnect and pave the way for delving into higher-level mathematics. Topics covered in this course include functions (linear, polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic) and their graphs, trigonometric functions, conic sections and systems of equations. Successful completion of Algebra I, Geometry and Algebra II is a prerequisite.
