Math 1730 — College Algebra/Trig
Course Description:
A one-semester four-hour course designed to review material covered in three years of high school algebra and analytic geometry. This course is also referred to as Pre-Calculus, since it is intended to prepare students with the mathematical background needed to take a course or course sequence in college-level calculus.
Topics to be covered include functions and graphs, exponential and logarithmic functions, the definitions of the trigonometric functions in terms of the unit circle, the graphs of the trigonometric functions and their inverses, deducing trigonometric identities, solving trigonometric equations, applications of trigonometry, polar coordinates, and, if time permits, polar graphs.
