CBA Credit - Liberal Arts

This course is a comprehensive treatment of the conceptual and computational underpinnings of the calculus. Precalculus extends and deepens the functions-based approach introduced in College Algebra & Trigonometry. Verbal, numerical, and graphical representations are employed throughout to analyze functions. Topics include polynomial and rational functions; absolute value; matrices; conic sections; transformations; factoring polynomials; trigonometric, exponential, and logarithmic functions; inverse functions; rates of change; and modeling realistic situations with functions. Graphing calculators and software such as Microsoft Excel and Maple will be incorporated into all aspects of the course. Students will design and carry out a semester-long project involving advanced algebraic analysis of an issue attendant to New York City's development over time.
