Advanced Math
Teacher: Phil Paradis
Course Description:
A review of algebra is followed by a more advanced study of graphics. The algebra course review of imaginary numbers is followed by an introduction to vectors. The relationship of studying all forms of equation solutions involves determinants. trigonometry, logarithms, and limits are followed by calculus differentiation and integration. Where programs are available, the student will use the computer for course study.
Goals:
1. For the student to explain the procedure he used in solving problems.
2. For the student to present knowns and unknowns in order when solving problems.
3. For the student to solve problems in a logical and orderly form.
4. For the student to visualize all math forms graphically.
5. For the student to use the computer, graphing calculator, textbook and instructor as guides in solving problems.
6. To expand the student’s knowledge of algebra, trigonometry and geometry.
7. To introduce the student to binary numbers, vectors, logic, computer applications, limits, differential and integral calculus.
8. To prepare the student for college calculus and other college math courses.
