    Description
    The second course in a two-semester sequence designed to prepare STEM students for calculus. This course covers basic concepts of analytic geometry and trigonometry, including definitions and properties of trigonometric functions. Students use multiple representations of functions, rate of change and explicit covariational reasoning to investigate and explore relationships between quantities and how these relationships change. Topics include solutions of applied problems using right triangles, graphs of trigonometric functions, trigonometric identities, trigonometric equations, inverse trigonometric functions, polar coordinates, conics, systems of nonlinear equations and sequences and series. Students model and solve contextualized problems individually and in teams to gain a deeper understanding of analytic geometry, trigonometric functions, and applications.
