Pre-Calculus
Concurrent Enrollment for college credit through Northern Michigan University
This Pre-Calculus class is offered as "concurrent enrollment" through Northern Michigan University. Upon successful completion of the course, the student will receive 4 college credits for MA 115 on an NMU college transcript, as well as credit for Pre-Calculus on their Forest Park transcript. It is a rigorous, upper-level elective course, but one that is immensely rewarding and valuable to the student's future.
Course Description: This course provides the necessary foundation for students who plan to study calculus. Topics include trigonometric functions and identities, basic laws in trigonometry, polar coordinates, complex numbers, transcendental functions, the conics, parametric equations, vectors, three-dimensional analytical geometry, sequences, series, limits, permutations and combinations and mathematical induction.
Learning Outcomes (primary focus of examinations)
Categories for course grade calculation: Homework, quizzes, tests, etc.
Weight for semester grade(s) in the course will be 35% each quarter and 30% semester/final exam.
