Advanced Math begins with an in-depth study of
Zeros and Factors of Polynomial
trigonometry. Topics include the six circular functions
Functions
(sine, cosine, tangent, cotangent, secant and cosecant),
Maximums and Minimums of
solving right triangles, the Law of Sines, and the Law of
Graphs
Cosines. Topics from Algebra II are reviewed and
Polynomial Equations
extended, including coordinate geometry, complex
Exponents
numbers, rational, exponential and logarithmic functions.
Logarithms
Additional topics include conic sections, and sequences and
Analytic Geometry
series. This course prepares students for success in a
Finite Sequences and Series
four-year college program.
