Math

  • Advanced Calculus

    Pre-requisite: Math 11 Science Option (75%), Pre-Calculus, or departmental approval. This course is an introductory Calculus course, basic to all science-oriented students. Topics include: functions (including trigonometric, exponential and logarithmic) and their graphs, derivatives, applications of derivatives, qualitative analysis of curves, the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, anti-derivatives, definite and indefinite integrals and their applications.
     
  • Advanced Functions

    Pre-requisite: Math 11 CST (Recommended 75%+)
    This class is for students who are not yet ready for calculus but wish to study sciences or business in the future. Course content includes: systems of inequalities, optimization, using functions to develop mathematical models, the absolute value function, the quadratic function, the square root function, the rational function, all trigonometric functions, sinusoidal functions, trigonometric identities and equations, circles, ellipses, parabolas and hyperbolas, exponential and logarithmic functions and vectors.
  • AP Calculus (AB)

    Prerequisite: Grade 11 Precalculus (80%) OR Math Science Option (90%) or department approval.
    AP Calculus (AB) is a comprehensive survey of the basic concepts of calculus. The material covered is equivalent to a normal two-term college or university calculus class. Successful completion of the course allows students to obtain credit from many institutions of higher learning. Topics include: analysis of graphs, limits of functions, continuity, derivatives, applications of derivatives, Riemann sums, definite integrals, applications of definite integrals, the fundamental theorem of calculus, techniques of anti-differentiation, applications of anti-differentiation and numerical approximations to definite integrals.
  • AP Statistics

    Recommended: Math 11 Science Option or departmental approval.
    This course is intended primarily for students preparing for the social sciences and focuses on the accurate usage of descriptive statistics, probability analysis as well as the collection, analysis and presentation of statistical results. The pace of this class is accelerated in order to prepare students for the AP Statistics exam in May.
  • Linear Algebra

    Prerequisite: Math 11 Science Option (80%) or departmental approval.
    This course is intended for capable math students. Content includes: linear systems and matrices, determinants, vectors in 2-space and 3-space, 3D analytic geometry, vector spaces, linear independence and complex numbers.
  • Statistics

    This course is intended primarily for students preparing for the social sciences and focuses on the accurate usage of descriptive statistics, probability analysis as well as the collection, analysis and presentation of statistical results. (This course is not available to students of AP Calculus.)
