    Description
    The study of functions, their properties, their graphs, and their applications: polynomial, absolute value, radical, rational, exponential, logarithmic, trigonometric, and trigonometric inverses. The course will also introduce students to the use of analytic geometry, trigonometric identities and proofs related to trigonometric expressions, solving equations involving the previously listed functions, solving right triangles and non-right triangles, and introduction to vectors and polar coordinates. This course includes the content of both MAT 25 (pre-calculus) and MAT 24 (trigonometry) and prepares a student for Calculus I. This course is considered an acceleration and is designed for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) majors.
