Pre-Calculus - Semester - 2
Recommended Grade Level: 9 - 12
Course Credits: 0.5
Course Price: $285.00
Course Details:
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.
Note: This course is not designed for ELL (English Language Learners) students. ELL students may enroll in this course ONLY if they have adequate mentor support at their home school and are able to fulfill all course requirements.
