MATH 2412 - Pre-Calculus Math4 credit hours. 4 lecture hours. 0 lab hours.
Prerequisites: MATH 1314 or permission of the department chair.
In-depth combined study of algebra, trigonometry, and other topics for calculus readiness. Topics may include trigonometric functions and their graphs, trigonometric identities, radian and degree measure, trigonometric equations, solutions of triangles, inverse trigonometric functions, vectors (parametric and polar representations are included), conic sections, sequences and series, and mathematical induction. Students may be required to use a calculator. This course may include MyMathLab.
Measurable Learning Outcomes:
Upon successful completion of this course, students will: Demonstrate and apply knowledge of properties of functions. Recognize and apply algebraic and transcendental functions and solve related equations. Apply graphing techniques to algebraic and transcendental functions. Compute the values of trigonometric functions for key angles in all quadrants of the unit circle measured in both degrees and radians. Prove trigonometric identities. Solve right and oblique triangles.
Notes:
Any student enrolled in a mathematics course at Temple College will be eligible to attend a mathematics lab. The main campus lab will be open at least 20 hours each week and will be staffed by the lab director, regular math faculty members and peer tutors. Labs in Hutto and Taylor will be open a limited number of hours as posted at those facilities. Hours vary each semester. Check with center directors for available tutoring on at the Hutto and Taylor locations.
While every effort has been made to align our pre-requisites with the majority of major receiving institutions, it is ultimately the learner’s responsibility to be aware of his/her institution’s particular pre-requisites.
MyMathLab is used in most classes.
