Trigonometry*

Trigonometry is designed for students who wish to continue a rigorous study of mathematics. The course begins with a review of the real number system, characteristics of functions, and solving equations. Students then progress from right-triangle trigonometry to an in-depth study of the unit circle and trigonometric functions, including their graphs and inverses. In analytic trigonometry, students verify identities and solve trigonometric equations. Additional topics include the Law of Sines, the Law of Cosines, vectors, conic sections, parametric equations, and polar curves. Students should successfully complete Algebra II and Geometry before enrolling in this course.
