Course Description:

This class is designed for students moving from Algebra II to IAC (particularly those who want to take the honors version of the class) and often serves students who may already be working with algebra tutors to strengthen readiness for advanced math. Our expert trigonometry and algebra 2 tutors will prepare them for the wide variety of subjects in IAC — some of which are not clearly related to each other. Topics include: functions (definition, motivation, and behavior); specific algebraic tricks that show up often in IAC (e.g. factoring & canceling to identify holes in rational functions); permutations & combinations, as well as a preview of trigonometry (unit circle, radians, standard trig functions [sin/cos/tan], some basic identities). If time allows, we will also cover matrices, vectors, logarithmic modeling, and limits.

IAC is a notoriously challenging course, and students often struggle to both learn and competently use all the new material they learn. By teaching many of the key concepts of IAC in advance, this course is designed to take some of the pressure off of the learning process during the academic year.

Intro to Analysis & Calculus Primer Topics:

Your algebra 2 or trigonometry tutor will select and teach the topics that will best match your level and interest and build a personally tailored curriculum from these sample lessons.

Functions

Polynomial functions, rational functions, exponential and logarithmic functions

Trigonometry

Unit circle, graphing, trig identities and proofs, solving trig equations

Probability & Combinatorics

Counting properties, permutations, combinations, binomial distribution

Applications

Polar coordinates and equations, vectors, parametric equations, business math, linear programming

Make the Most of the Summer!

Students who stay actively engaged in the learning process during the summer, especially with guidance from algebra tutors or a trigonometry tutor, perform better during the school year.
