Precalculus with Review II

Catalog description

MATH 1121 is the second course in a Precalculus sequence. The concepts, skills, reasoning, and rigor expected of successful Calculus students is developed in this sequence. MATH 1121 concludes outlining the analytical structure of the Elementary Functions (linear, quadratic, absolute value, root, polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic, trigonometric, and piecewise.) with considerable emphasis on the Trigonometric functions, structure, and relationships. Calculus situations and descriptions will be used to motivate and inspire analysis, which includes function behavior and characteristics, function arithmetic, and modeling. Supporting algebraic concepts and skills are included in the curriculum as necessary. This course, along with MATH 1120, is specifically designed as preparation for Calculus.
