RATIONALE FOR COURSE:

 This course serves as a prerequisite for the Analytical Geometry Calculus

 sequence, as well as a foundation course for Engineering and Science majors.

 

_____________________________________________________________________________

 

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

This course includes the study of trigonometric functions and inverse

trigonometric functions and their graphs; solutions of right and oblique

triangles and their applications; solutions of trigonometric equations and

inequalities; the use of identities, vectors, and complex numbers; and

solutions of polar equations and parametric equations.  Students must

supply a graphing calculator.

GENERAL COURSE GOALS:

 1.   Further develop students' ability to use the language of mathematics

      correctly in speaking and writing.

 

 2.   Introduce and develop, in a mathematically rigorous manner, the

      concepts and applications of the trigonometric functions.

 

 3.   Further develop the use of technology (graphing calculator and

      computer) as a tool for solving problems.

 

 4.   Further develop students' abilities to solve real-life problems

      utilizing the trigonometric functions and analyze and solve these

      problems analytically and graphically.

 

 5.   Engage students in the exploration of the central ideas of

      trigonometry through laboratory experiments, individually and/or in

      groups.

 

 6.   Further strengthen students' ability to critically apply

      mathematical thinking to solve problems and to determine

      reasonableness of results.
