Precalculus (PC)
PrintPrecalculus prepares students for calculus through three major strands: Functions, Trigonometry, and Conic Sections. Functions covers families of functions including polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic, and piecewise forms with an emphasis on transformations and composition. Trigonometry addresses angle measurement, the unit circle, trigonometric functions and their graphs, and applications; conic sections are investigated analytically and geometrically.
