COURSE SYLLABUS
MATH 1200
PRE-CALCULUS
I.
COURSE DESCRIPTION
Pre-Calculus will begin with a review of essential algebraic concepts such as exponents,
radicals, polynomials, factoring, and complex numbers. The student will then study
material related to trigonometric identities, systems of equations and matrices, and
graphing everything from linear and quadratic functions to vectors and polar coordinates.
Concepts such as absolute value, synthetic division, and radical expressions will be
coupled with real applications of trigonometric functions, combinations and probability.
As the material is presented through video lectures and illustrations the student will be
given opportunity to practice learned skills and explore topics such as limits,
differentiation and integration.
