PRECAL MATTERS! This course emphasizes several big ideas that form a foundation for calculus and other college mathematics curricula that include transformations of functions, inverses, exponentials, and logarithmic equations. Algebraic fluency and simplification techniques will be emphasized along with modeling using a variety of approaches, including parametrics. Properties of functions will be covered including domain and range, composition, even and oddness, continuity, increasing vs. decreasing, and concavity.
