real-world situations, analytic geometry, limits, and continuity. The TI-89 graphing calculator is used in this course. Prerequisite: a grade of C or better in Math 433 MATHEMATICS 444 (PRECALCULUS) Grades 11 and 12 4 periods per week, 1 credit
This course in advanced mathematics provides a strong foundation for continuing study in mathematics or science and offers a rigorous treatment of elementary functions, theory of equations, modeling of real-world situations, analytic geometry, limits, and continuity. The TI89 graphing calculator is used in this course. Prerequisite: a grade of B+ or better in Math 433 MATHEMATICS 442 Grades 11 and 12
MATHEMATICS 454 (CALCULUS) Grade 12 4 periods per week, 1 credit
This introduction to concepts and applications of calculus explores such topics as limits, differential calculus, integral calculus and applications, and modeling of real-world situations. The TI-89 graphing calculator is used in this course. Prerequisite: teacher recommendation and successful completion of Math 444PC or Math 443 ADVANCED TOPICS COURSES NOTE: The approval of one's precalculus teacher is prerequisite to taking any of the following Advanced Topics courses: Math 455 (Statistics), Math 455 (AB Calculus), and Math 455 (BC Calculus).
4 periods per week, 1 credit
This course begins with an in-depth study of trigonometry, including right triangle trigonometry, trigonometric graphs, identities, and equations. A brief unit in statistics, which explores standard deviation and the normal curve, is followed by investigations into topics in precalculus, including functions, transformations, and polynomials. Prerequisite: successful completion of Math 432 MATHEMATICS 453 (PRECALCULUS/CALCULUS) Grade 12 4 periods per week, 1 credit
This course continues to build a foundation in precalculus and examines the basic concepts and applications of calculus. Topics include functions, limits, modeling of real-world situations, derivatives and their applications, and an introduction to anti-differentiation. The major concepts in this course will be applied only to polynomial functions and some rational and square root functions. The TI-89 graphing calculator is used in this course. Prerequisite: teacher recommendation and successful completion of Math 442

MATHEMATICS 455 (AT STATISTICS) Grades 11 and 12 4 periods per week, 1 credit
This Advanced Topics course in statistics introduces students to the most important concepts and tools for collecting, analyzing, and drawing conclusions from data. In addition to studying mathematical principles, students will be expected to communicate their interpretation of data in writing. This course is equivalent to an introductory, one-semester, college-level statistics course. Prerequisite or co-requisite: teacher recommendation and Math 442, Math 443, Math 444 HH or Math 444 (Precalculus) MATHEMATICS 455 (AB CALCULUS) Grade 12 5 periods per week, 1 credit
This AT course closely parallels standard college freshman calculus and analytic geometry courses. An informal and intuitive approach is used to develop the student's understanding of the concepts, methods, and applications of differential and integral calculus. Prerequisite or co-requisite: teacher recommendation and Math 444 HH or Math 444 (Precalculus)
