Pre-Calculus COurse Description
The purpose of this course is to provide an introduction into mathematical concepts necessary to succeed in Calculus. The class integrates prior knowledge with new complex ideas related to the major families of functions. The class will also focus on algebraic and graphical representations of the most frequently used families of functions. These functions include linear functions, polynomial functions, rational functions, exponential functions, and logarithmic functions.
