LISGAR COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE
DEPARTMENT: Math and Technology
COURSE NAME: Gr. 11 University Math
COURSE CODE: MCR3U
OVERVIEW
This course is designed for students intending on pursuing university courses where math is an
integral part of the material; engineering, physics, computer science, etc. This course introduces the
mathematical concept of the function by extending students' experiences with linear and quadratic
relations. Students will investigate properties of discrete and continuous functions, including
trigonometric and exponential functions; represent functions numerically, algebraically, and
graphically; solve problems involving applications of functions; investigate inverse fucntions; and
develop the ability to determine equivalent algebraic expressions .
COURSE CONTENT
• Rational Expressions
• Characteristics of Functions: Quadratic, Sinusoidal, Exponential, and Inverse
• Trigonometry
• Sequence and Series
• Financial Applications

SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES
MISSING A TEST/PRESENTATION
1) If you know ahead of time that you will be away for a test/presentation (e.g., school sports), alternative arrangements
must be made with your teacher before the test/presentation date.
2) An unexpected absence from a test/quiz (e.g., illness) must be explained by a parental note or medical certificate. A
note must justify your absence from a class test within two (2) school days of your return to school or a mark of zero
will be assigned.
3) There is no make-up test/quiz/in class assignment in this course. The weighting of the final evaluation will be
increased in proportion to the justified missed test(s). This policy applies only to tests missed for legitimate reasons
ABSENCES FROM CLASS
You are responsible for catching up on class notes and completing any assignments for which you were absent. If you
are absent for class work, you are still responsible for understanding the material, and arranging for time to make up the
work.
