Pre-Calculus Assignment Guide
Chapter four part A starts a very long journey into trigonometry. We will spend at least 14 weeks
looking at trig functions and their applications but this first chapter examines the building blocks and definitions
that we will use for the next three years. It is critical that you memorize these properties as soon as possible.
As usual, please don’t put them in the short-term memory! Every day we will try and tie these concepts together
and create a firm foundation for future studies. Please ask questions regularly in class or stop by to see me or go
to the Math Resource Center in room C117 for extra help.
