Pre-Calculus

In Pre-Calculus, as mathematical analysts, students investigate advanced mathematics concepts and use them to solve problems encountered in operating national parks where God’s design is on full display. In doing so, they learn that all mathematics points to our Maker. The core components of the course include the study of functions and the development of skills necessary for future success in calculus. In addition, a detailed examination of trigonometry and elements of analytical geometry are incorporated into the curriculum.
