Pre-Calculus – Semester 2
Recommended Grade Level: 11 - 12
This course builds on Algebra I II and Pre-calculus Semester 1 and lays a solid foundation for a future course in Calculus. Student learns about several important concepts like Vectors, Probability & Distribution and Statistics. This course first provides a detailed introduction to the study of Continuity and later helps the student learn the concepts of Limits & Derivatives. With a firm understanding of Continuity, Limits and Derivatives, the student is well-prepared to handle the challenges of a full-fledged Calculus course.
