Course Description Book 2012-2013Honors Advanced Algebra B (2044) is a continuation of Honors Advanced Algebra A. Students will study power and roots, quadratic, logarithmic,exponential, trigonometric and polynomial functions. The functions will be studied for their properties and their use for modeling real-world situations.‣ - Honors Advanced Algebra A (.5 credit) Spring Semester 10 ,11, 12Functions (2049) is a one semester course in mathematical relations and functions. Topics include: linear relations and functions, quadratic functions,composition of functions, piecewise functions, system of linear equations and in-equalities, polynomial and rational functions. Properties of the graphsincluding symmetry, families of graphs, nonlinear inequalities, continuity and end behavior, discontinuities, critical points and extrema. Modeling datawith functions and matrices are included.‣ - Advanced Algebra B or Honors Advanced Algebra B & Consent of Instructor (.5 credit) Fall Semester 10, 11, 12Trigonometry (2052) is a semester long course on trigonometry and its applications. Topics covered include right triangle trigonometry, trigonometricfunctions, the unit circle, graphs of trigonometric functions, inverse trigonometric functions, trigonometric identities, trigonometric equations and vectorand trigonometry. Taking this class, followed by the one semester precalculus class, will enable a student to take calculus the following year.‣ - Functions (.5 credit) Spring Semester 10, 11, 12Honors Trigonometry (2055) is a semester long course on trigonometry and its applications. Topics covered include right triangle trigonometry,trigonometric functions, the unit circle, graphs of trigonometric functions, inverse trigonometric functionstrigonometric identities, trigonometric equations and vector and trigonometry. Taking this class, followed by the one semester pre-calculus class, willenable a student to take calculus the following year.‣ - Honors Advanced Algebra B or Advanced Algebra B & Consent of Instructor(.5 credit) Fall Semester 10, 11, 12Pre-Calculus (2061) is a one semester course in advanced functions and discrete mathematics with an introduction to Calculus.
