Functions and Trigonometry

Serves as a precursor to a course in calculus and as a stand-alone course in methods of advanced algebraic thinking. Introduces the study of functions—their definition, application, methods of manipulating them, generalized notions (so-called multivalued functions and relations), and their algebra. The act of graphing functions provides ties to geometry. Utilizes innovative geometric insights to provide a sound and comprehensive perspective to the topic. The study of logarithms, the number “e,” complex numbers, trigonometry, growth and decay, and the conic sections find a natural place in this very general setting. Offers students an opportunity to develop a clear understanding of mathematical concepts and a deep global perspective of algebraic thinking as a whole.
