This year, we will explore morecomplex mathematics withinteresting, real-world applications
engineeringspace science
shapes in artand architecture
laws of growth and decay
games and odds
cryptography

The good news...the topics are interesting and have lots of great applications in real life.
The bad news (sort of)...we cover a lot of topics, so the pacing is fast:
·Algebra 1 review (factoring, lines, etc.)·Functions and their graphs / inverse functions·Complex numbers·Polynomial/Rational functions, zeros, asymptotes·Conic sections·Exponents and Logarithms·Trigonometry ·Sequences and Series·Probability (advanced)·Systems of equations/inequalities (3D and higher)·Matrices

Keys to success:·Complete all assignments to the best of your ability, on time.·Do not get behind·Take advantage of tutoring and other help available when needed.·Students may need to spend a little more time on math than they have in the past.

Other things that can help:
·Before/after school tutoring: math teachers provide free tutoring every school day to any student who walks in. Go to the math office (C118). - After school, I'll be in the math office. - Before school, either in math office or in my first class (C138) - (Usually) start at 7:30am, end 4:00pm.
·Re-learning videos on my website.

Calculators:
·Required! Bring to school every day. You will use it during class, for homework and on tests.
·Minimum: TI-83 or higher, graphing, matrices.
·Recommended: TI-83, TI-83 plus, TI-84, TI-84 plus (I will use a TI-84 plus for demonstrations)
·TI-89, TI-nspire okay, but we will not use the extra functions, and key layout may be (slightly) different than our demonstrations.
