Sections and Teachers
Section 1: Instructor: Art Mabbott
Starts: September 7, 2010

There is more information at the teacher's course Website: Pre-Calculus with Trigonometry
Pre-Calculus, is the bridge course to Calculus. We will integrate rigorous real world mathematical scenarios with technology – Calculator and Dynamic Software. We will cement the concept that variables really vary. Beyond the traditional topics, we will be able to study concepts such as harmonic analysis of complex wave patterns and logistic functions for restricted populations growth. We will examine problems from multiple perspectives – graphical, tabular, functional, and situational. And we will revisit one of our tools from Geometry to assist us in our analysis of complex functions. Prerequisites
Algebra I, Geometry, and Advanced Algebra
Teacher's notes:
A third weekly meeting will be scheduled in consultation with students during the first week of class.
In the fall of 2010, Mr. Mabbott will be away from classes traveling to Africa from mid-October to mid-November and he will not have access to his computer. He has not yet finalized plans for that time period but will discuss several options with his students and their families to see which works out best for all concerned.
