110 Advanced Algebra 1 & 2— Phase 4
This course is required of honors students and offered to students with a decidedly above average aptitude in Math. This introductory Algebra class develops the students ability to discover most of the subject matter for himself and to look constantly for unifying ideas that apply in Algebra and all mathematics. The student will deal with subject matter in great detail and must be willing to devote a considerable amount of time outside of class to daily preparation. Topics covered will include: language and symbolism of numbers, the real numbers, equations and inequalities in one variable, polynomials, systems of linear equations and inequalities, relations and functions, exponents and radicals, quadratic equations and inequalities; in one variable, ratio, proportion, variation, verbal problems, graphing.
112 Algebra 1 — Phase 3
This course is offered to students with an average aptitude in Math. This course has the same objectives and subject matter as the Phase 4 course, but the depth, speed and rigor is geared for the average student with adjustments made for varying levels of math aptitude.
113 Basic Algebra 1 — Phase 2
This course is offered to students who require a slower paced math course. This course has the same basic objectives as the phase 3 course, but the depth, speed, and rigor is geared for the below average math student.
120 Advanced Geometry & Trigonometry — Phase 4
This course is offered to Sophomores in the Honors Program and is intended as a rigorous preparation for the sequential courses in junior and senior years. This is an in-depth study of plane and coordinate geometry, some solid geometry, and a complete and extensive study of trigonometry. Students must be capable of grasping the subject matter quickly and must be willing to spend considerable time in home study and written assignments.
Prerequisite: "B" average in Advanced Algebra and completion of the entire Advanced Algebra curriculum.
121 Geometry — Phase 3
This course is offered to students with an average aptitude in mathematics and who have passed Algebra 1. Topics covered include parallel lines, congruent triangles, similar polygons, areas, circles, construction, loci and coordinate geometry.
Prerequisite: Credit in Algebra 1 or in Advanced Algebra
122 Basic Geometry — Phase 2
This course is offered at a more individualized pace, it follows Basic Algebra. Students whose average in Algebra 1 phase 3 is less than C should take this course. Prerequisite: Credit in Algebra 1.
130 Pre-Calculus — Phase 4 — Honors (for underclassmen only) — Dual Enrollment
This course covers Math Analysis iin the first three quarters and additionally requires Pre-Calculus students to understand the definition of derivative; find derivatives by this definition; derive the basic derivative formulas; find derivatives by these formulas. Students who satisfactorily complete this course may enroll in AP Calculus or Calculus 1,2 the following year.
131 Algebra 2 and Trigonometry — Phase 4
This course is offered to juniors with a least a "B+" average in phase 3 Math for two years or a "C+" average in phase 4 Math for two years. Topics covered will be the same as those covered in Algebra 2 as well as a very thorough course in Trigonometry. This course will also cover some matrices and determinants, and, time permitting, some permutations, combinations, and probability.
132 Algebra 2 — Phase 3
This course is Intended for the student whose aptitude in math and ability for learning still needs some strengthening and who, therefore, would benefit from a course whose speed and depth are to meet these needs. This course is intended for juniors who have passed Algebra I and Geometry.
Prerequisite: Credit both in Algebra 1 and Geometry.
133 Basic Algebra 2 — Phase 2
This course is Intended for students who have passed Basic Algebra I/Algebra I and Basic Geometry/Geometry, and whose aptitude in math and ability for learning still need some strengthening and who would benefit from a course whose speed and depth are adapted to meet these needs.
140 Advanced Placement Calculus - Phase 5 - Dual Enrollment
This course is offered to seniors in the Honors program with a "B" or higher average in Phase 4 Math for three years. A rigorous college course in the theory, applications and problem solving of the differential and integral calculus, plane analytic geometry and polar coordinates restricted to functions of one variable. Five class periods and a minimum of 15 hours of home study and written assignments per week can be expected. Problem sets are assigned at the end of each chapter. Students in this course take the AP exam in May with a view to receiving college credit and/or placement. Advanced Placement Calculus students must purchase a "Graphing Scientific" calculator. It is needed for the AP calculus exam.
Prerequisites: Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Plane and some Solid Geometry, Trigonometry and Pre-Calculus.
142 Calculus 1, 2 — Phase 4 —Dual enrollment
This course is offered to students who have successfully completed Math Analysis or Pre-Calculus (exception: students who complete College Algebra and Trigonometry as juniors may sign up if they get the recommendation of their College Algebra and Trigonometry teachers).
143 Mathematical Analysis — Phase 4 — Dual Enrollment
This course covers the following topics: ordered fields, sequences and series, vector algebra, plane analytic geometry, complex numbers, limits, mathematical induction, graphs of polynomial functions, exponential and logarithmic functions, review of circular functions, fields and groups, determinants, matrices, probability, truth tables, tautologies. Offered to seniors with a "B" average in Math for 3 years as a recommended preparation for calculus in college.
144 Mathematical Analysis-Phase 3
This course is the same as 143, with some of the more advanced topics (e.g. math induction) omitted but using the same text as 036. This is not a dual enrollment course.
Prerequisite: Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra 2, Trigonometry.
145 Honors College Algebra and Trigonometry — Phase 4 – Dual Enrollment
this course offers Algebraic topics including the number system, nth degree of polynomial equations, inequalities, sequences and series, rational functions, determinants, and complex numbers. Topics in trigonometry are circular functions, right triangle trigonometry, inverse trigonometric functions, law of sines, law of cosines, identities, graphs, and trig equations. This class is offered to seniors as a recommended preparation for college mathematics. Prerequisite: Algebra 2 phase 3, teacher recommendation, 3.0 GPA.
146 College Algebra and Trigonometry — Phase 3
This course is offered to students with and averaage aptitude in math and has the same objectives and subject matter as 145, but the depth and pace is geared to the individual student. This course is not dual enrollment. Prerequisite: C average in math for 3 years.
147 Basic College Algebra and Trigonometry — Phase 2
This course covers the same topics as 146 and is intended for students who have passed Basic Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra 2 and require a less intense math course.
Prerequisite: Basic Algebra I, Basic Geometry, Basic Algebra 2.
