Pre-Calculus 30 Course Description:
PreCalculus 30 covers probability, trigonometry, logarithms, algebra and a great deal of graphing. Use of graphing technology (calculator or computer) is strongly recommended.
The course is a preparation for taking Calculus 30 and is intended for students who want to challenge themselves to the highest level of math possible in high school. It is a very challenging course that is a good preparation for university courses and technology based SIAST courses. Content in this pathway was chosen to meet the needs of students interested in pursuing careers in science-related areas.
