24<strong>Course</strong> <strong>Description</strong> <strong>Book</strong> 2012-2013Analytic Geometry (2066) approaches geometry algebraically. It includes the study and application of coordinate systems in two and three dimensions,vectors in two dimensions, and the conic sections. Emphasis is placed on problem solving skills and visual perceptions.‣ - Pre-Calculus or Honors Pre-Calculus (.5 credit) Spring Semester 11, 12Business Calculus A (2073) is the first semester class in a year course in high school calculus. This class provides a complete review of basic functionswith applications in business, economics, and the social and behavioral sciences. Basic functions include: linear, quadratic, power, rational, radical,exponential, logarithmic, and logistics functions. Business Calculus makes heavy use of the regression capabilities of the graphics calculator providing adata modeling flavor to the course. Calculus topics include: limits; the derivative; concavity and non-differentiability; composite functions and the chainrule; differentiation rules of the basic functions; implicit differentiation and related rates; linear approximation; marginal analysis; measuring rates anderrors; and the elasticity of demand. This course does not include the calculus of trigonometric functions.‣ - Pre-Calculus or Honors Pre-Calculus (.5 credit) Fall Semester 12Business Calculus B (2074) is the second semester class in a year course in high school calculus. It is a continuation of Business Calculus A. The classmakes heavy use of the regression capabilities of the graphics calculator providing a data modeling flavor to the course. Calculus topics include:derivatives and graphs; optimization of functions; the indefinite integral; area and the definite integral; the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus; integrationsby u-substitution; First order differential equations; separation of variable and growth and decay; area between two curves; integration by parts; numericalintegration; and improper integrals. This course does not include the calculus of trigonometric functions.‣ - Business Calculus B (.5 credit) Spring Semester 12AP/CAPP Calculus AB (2081-82) covers the basic topics of a beginning calculus course including limits and continuity, derivative and differentiation,the definite integral and integration, and the applications of derivatives and integrals.This is an advanced course which may be taken for CAPP or AP college credit. Students must take and pass the University of WisconsinMath Placement test before enrolling in CAPP. As a convenience to our students we will provide a time for students to take the placementtest here at <strong>Hortonville</strong> High <strong>School</strong>. A university fee is charged if the course is taken for CAPP credit. A fee is also charged if a studentelects to take the AP exam. The course of study is the same for all students whether taken as CAPP or AP. Student who meet CAPP criteriatake this course through the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh. Those who pass the CAPP course with a C or higher earn 4 college credits inaddition to .5 high school credit. Additionally, those who pass CAPP may elect to enroll in Calculus II or Math 172 for 2 nd semester.‣ -Honors Trigonometry and Honors Pre-Calculus, Passing score on UW Math Placement Test, or consent of instructor(.5 to 1 credit) Both/Fall Semester 12Math for the Trades (2095) covers practical applications of whole numbers, fractions, percents and proportions to the various trade areas. There also areunits on the metric system, conversions, practical geometry, and applications of measurement, signed numbers and formula equations. Extra units onmicrometers, solving equations, and measurement with the standard rule are included for specific program students. Use of a scientific calculator isintroduced as needed. Students who have successfully completed Advanced Algebra are not eligible for this course without consent of the Mathematicsdepartment.‣ - Geometry B or Applied Geometry B (.5 credit) Fall Semester 12
<strong>Course</strong> <strong>Description</strong> <strong>Book</strong> 2012-2013Personal Math (2096) will focus on topics of everyday living such as: interest, banking, borrowing, investments, payroll, budgeting, insurance, housing,and taxes with an emphasis on the mathematics behind them.Students who received a grade of C or better in Advanced Algebra B are not eligible for this course.‣ - None (.5 credit) Spring Semester 1225
