This is the second of two Web-enabled courses designed to provide students with the necessary preparation for studying calculus and other college mathematics courses. This course begins by reviewing basic concepts in trigonometry. As students continue with the course, they will learn about approximate values, trigonometric identities, graphs, equations, logarithms, vectors, complex numbers and polar coordinates. Throughout the course, they will be given various examples of the role of mathematics in daily life.
Students completing this course will be able to use a graphing calculator and tables to evaluate trigonometric functions and angles; use reference angles to find trigonometric functions and apply trigonometric functions to solve right triangles; solve applied problems using line of sight, angle of elevation, angle of depression, bearing, and other practical settings; and use trigonometric identities to simplify or prove trigonometric expressions.
Course Activities: 6 unit assignments, 6 unit evaluations, 2 examinations
