Course Description:

This 1-on-1 class introduces students to trigonometry and focuses on the trigonometric side of the trig/precalc course. The course is designed to familiarize students with the unit circle and the other central concepts. We will cover the unit circle and trigonometric functions, methods for proving trigonometric identities, understanding functions as they relate to calculus, and major concepts such as conic sections, vectors, and matrices.

Students will be taught the best methods for learning trigonometric functions, graphing these functions, and proving trigonometric identities. They will learn how to graph and distinguish conic sections, graph and combine vectors, and work with matrices to solve systems of equations. They will also be taught how to look at functions from a calculus viewpoint, looking at limits and infinity.
