This course is the first course of a two-semester sequence designed to prepare students for calculus. Course topics include an introduction to relations and functions; the study of linear, quadratic, polynomial, rational, exponential, and logarithmic expressions and functions; and right triangle trigonometry. Algebraic techniques of simplification will be emphasized. The use of the graphing calculator is required to further the exploration of these topics and their applications. Near the end of the course, students will complete a comprehensive, departmental final exam.
