Mathematics

Applied Algebra

Applied Algebra is intended as an introduction to Algebra I and includes the topics of expression and integers, solving one step equations and inequalities, decimals and equations, factors, fractions and exponents, operations with fractions, ratios, proportions and percents, solving equations and inequalities, linear functions and graphing, spatial thinking, area and volume, right triangles in algebra, date analysis an probability, nonlinear functions and polynomials.

Algebra I

Topics include literal numbers, formulas, signed numbers, equations, operations with polynomials, graphs of lines, slope, two point formula, systems of linear equations (solutions by graphing, substitution, and elimination method), products of binomials, factoring fractions, and fractional equations.

Algebra II/Trigonometry

This course deals with operations and equations, graphing linear equations, solving systems of linear equations (graphically and elimination of variables) products, factoring, solving quadratic equations, graphic conic sections, and rational number calculations. The trig portion of this course deals with an introduction to the six trig functions solving triangles, radian measure, graphing the trig functions, and solving fundamental identities using the six trigonometric functions.

Geometry

A course offered to students in grades 11 and 12, geometry deals with problems involving two dimensional aspects of a line, angles, rectangles, triangles, and circles. Through these problems the deductive method is also studied.

Computer Math

Computer Math is offered to students in grades 11 and 12 who have completed algebra I, algebra II, and geometry. Topics include word processing, database, spreadsheet, paint and draw applications, presentation, web design, importing graphics and video, pod casting, and programming.

Calculus

Calculus is an advanced level math course open to juniors and seniors with extensive math background. This course deals with functions, limits, differentiation, integration, maximum and minimum values of a function, methods of differentiation, trigonometric, logarithmic and exponential functions as well as applications of calculus.
