| The AP Pre-Calculus course will allow students to gain knowledge on and master polynomial, rational, logarithmic, exponential, trigonometric, and polar functions. Students will also work with functions involving parameters, vectors, and matrices. These comprise the content and conceptual understanding that colleges and universities typically expect students to master to qualify for college credit and/or placement. This course is certified by NCAA for initial-eligibility for student athletes.
AP Pre-Calculus prepares students for other college-level mathematics and science courses. The framework delineates content and skills common to college pre-calculus courses that are foundational for careers in mathematics, physics, biology, health science, social science, and data science. Students study each function type through their graphical, numerical, verbal, and analytical representations and their applications in a variety of contexts. Students apply their understanding of functions by constructing and validating appropriate function models for scenarios, sets of conditions, and data sets, thereby gaining a deeper understanding of the nature and behavior of each function type.
Information regarding earning 3 college credits for this course will be provided in September. NOTE: This AP course has a required summer assignment. Students are expected to complete their summer assignment before the course begins and submit their work on the first full day of school in September. All students must take the Advanced Placement Test at the end of the course. A non-refundable fee of approximately $75 will be charged at the book sale for this exam. |
