Senior Math   Year Course
Grade 12   1 Credit
This course further develops the college algebra, analytic geometry and trigonometry of GTA III. New topics are introduced including the transition of axes, higher order echelons, the binomial theorem, finding roots of higher degree equations, syllogistic reasoning, and matrices. Much of the second semester is an introduction to calculus. Topics of algebra, analytic geometry, and trigonometry are reviewed; while new topics such as, limits, continuity, derivatives, the differential, and integration are introduced and given special emphasis. Pre-requisite is GTA III.
