This course is designed for students who are majoring in math, science, or engineering. It equips students with the skills necessary for success in precalculus. This course presents the concepts of plane trigonometry using a functions approach. Included is a study of trigonometric functions, their inverses and their graphs, identities and proofs related to trigonometric expressions, trigonometric equations, solving right triangles, solving triangles using the Law of Cosines and the Law of Sines, polar coordinates, and an introduction to vectors. In addition, this class offers support for college level trigonometry through algebra and geometry review along with presentation of reading strategies for mathematical problems and study skills.
