.5 credit, 1 semester Elective
Grades 11-12
Prerequisites: Advanced Algebra and approval of the math
department
Note: May be taken concurrently with Advanced Algebra with approval of the math department.
This course is intended for students
who need an intense study of the mathematics of trigonometry for
college entry. Reviewing and stretching beyond basic right
triangle trigonometry, this course will cover topics such as
radian and degree measure, the inverse trig functions, the
graphs of the trigonometric functions, trigonometric
applications of the unit circle, solving trigonometric
equations, polar coordinates and graphs, memorizing and proving
trigonometric identities, the Law of Sines and Cosines, and
polar graphs. Trigonometry may NOT be taken in the same year as Pre-Calculus.
Trigonometry is a college-prep course.
