This course weaves together previous study of algebra, geometry, and mathematical functions into a preparatory course for calculus. Throughout the course, the student learns how to apply the concepts in real life situations. Topics include fundamental concepts of Algebra, functions and graphs, polynomials and rational functions, exponential and logarithmic functions, trigonometric functions, and an introduction to limits followed by differential and integral calculus.
