Math Courses
318 Algebra I
Students attending college should take Algebra in 8th or 9th grade. Topics covered are rules of algebra, equations, inequalities, graphing, functions, systems of equations, exponents, radicals, polynomials, and quadratics. Students will be expected to take notes in an organized manner. Quizzes will be given several times a week.
320 Geometry
Students taking geometry must have a strong foundation in algebra: the rules of algebra, signed numbers, equations, inequalities and graphs. Students should also have a good sense of formulas, functions, exponents and radicals. The sequence for math for a college-bound student should be Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, Math IV, Math V.
322 Algebra II
The intent of this course is to reinforce & extend concepts & skills learned in Algebra I and Geometry. A secondary goal is to aid students in moving toward more independent learning. Several main strands are interwoven throughout the material. Solving equations and inequalities, graphing solutions, applying geometry, and probability offer a variety of math experiences.
Prerequisite: Algebra I
340 Math IV
Topics covered in this course include linear relations and functions, trigonometry, vectors, parametric equations, advanced functions and graphs, discrete mathematics, and an introduction to the Calculus concepts and limits and derivatives.
Prerequisite: Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry
350 Math V Calc
The topics covered in this course include analytic geometry, functions, limits, continuity of functions, derivatives & applications, maximum & minimum values of functions, curve sketching, integrals, definite integrals, hyperbolic functions, an introduction to differential equations. The use of a graphing calculator is stressed.
Prerequisite: Math IV
