Welcome to Trimester 3 of the 2012-2013 school year. Just a few things to help you navigate my site. 
1.  There is a link to each subject matter that will have:
      A) The assignment list
      B) copy of the course syllabus.
2.  Grades will be updated on "Infinite Campus"
3.  Extra Help: I am available for extra help both before (except Wednesdays) and after school in room 161 or library (on some Thursdays). Students are welcome to stop by, but it is best for them to sign up on the "extra help" clipboard found in the back of the room. If I have meetings scheduled (listed on the "extra help" clipboard) I will not be available.

The major topics covered in this course are Right Triangle and Non-Right Triangle Trigonometry, Unit Circle Trigonometry, Graphing of Trigonometric Functions, Trigonometric Identities, and Solving Trigonometric Equations. Other skills emphasized include improving arithmetic skills, algebraic manipulation, solving equations without calculators. The textbook used is, Algebra and Trigonometry for College Readiness: Lial, Hornsby (Addison Wesley Publication). The replacement cost for a lost book is $100.00.

The course content includes algebraic, exponential, logarithmic, trigonometric, and polar equations and their graphs, analytic geometry and trigonometry, as well as matrices and determinants. This course is a college preparation course. Success in college level mathematics begins with a good understanding of algebra and trigonometry. The goal of this course is to help students gain that understanding. The text we will be using is Precalculus, 6th Edition, Larson/Hostetler: Houghton Mifflin 2004. (Replacement cost is $85.00) Please see attached syllabus for materials needed, classroom procedures, grading policies, and extra help availability.
