Students intending to enroll in AP Calculus in the future have the choice to participate in a Self-paced Honors Precalculus course. This AP Precalculus class will focus on both the Precalculus material and readiness for the AP exam. 

​

This AP course is designed to provide a comprehensive study of functions, which are the basis of calculus and other higher mathematics courses. The students will study the properties and graphs of trigonometric, polynomial, rational, inverse, exponential and logarithmic functions, inequalities, polar coordinates, complex numbers, conic sections, matrices, vectors, sequences, and series.

​

​

Weekly Live Class

Weekly live Zoom meeting meets every Tuesday, 9 am to 10 am PST (12 pm to 1 pm EST). Class will run from Aug 21, 2023 through early May 2024. Breaks to be determined.

Why take this class? 

The course: 

• Prepares students for calculus (including AP Calculus AB and BC) and to succeed in both STEM and non-STEM majors. 

• Students who want to complete a fourth year of math in high school.  Students who take math all 4 years of high school are 140.5% more likely to be considered “college ready” and “calculus ready.”
