Algebra I MA100
|
This course covers various aspects of basic algebra, including graphs and formulas, ratios and proportions, variation, powers and roots, simple and multiple-step equations, and systems of equations. After the students develop understanding of solving a certain type of problem with numbers, similar types of problems with literal answers are introduced to reinforce the concepts and further develop the students' problem solving abilities. Within the context of the course, the ability to solve various types of word problems is also stressed. A scientific calculator is required. |

|
Geometry MA200
|
This course applies the logical principles of inductive and deductive reasoning to various areas of both two and three-dimensional geometry. Throughout the course there is a wide range of definitions, symbols, theorems, constructions and simple proofs. The topics of area, volume, symmetry and some trigonometry are also included. A scientific calculator is required. |
|
|
Algebra II MA300
|
This course is a continuation of Algebra I. Included in this course are various areas of factoring, formulas, quadratic functions and equations, powers and roots, imaginary numbers, sequences and series, inverse functions, logarithms, and more trigonometry. Topics similar to those covered in Algebra I are covered in greater depth and covered on a more advanced level. A graphing calculator is required. |

Pre-Calculus MA400
|
This challenging course is designed for students who intend to take AP Calculus. Topics include advanced features of algebra, trigonometry, polar coordinates, conic sections, sequences and series, matrices, transformations, logarithms and introductory limits. A graphing calculator is required and full advantage is taken of its capabilities. |

AP Calculus MA500
|
This challenging course is designed for above average mathematics students who will pursue mathematics beyond high school. The topics covered are those set by the College Entrance Examination Board. Students may register to take either the AB exam or the BC exam in May. The BC exam, though not more in depth, does cover approximately one third more content. Students may receive advanced placement in their college or university program based on their exam performance. An approved graphing calculator is essential for the course and required for the exam. |

AP Statistics MA510
|
The purpose of the AP Statistics is to introduce students to the major concepts and tools for collecting, analyzing and drawing conclusions from data. Students are exposed to the broad conceptual schemes: 1. Exploring data: Describing patterns and departures 2. Sampling and experimentation: Planning random phenomena using probability and simulation. 3. Anticipating patterns: Exploring random phenomena using probability and simulation. 4. Statistical inference: Estimating population parameters and testing hypotheses. |

Consumer Mathematics MA110
|
This course has been designed for students who will not need mathematics beyond high school. The practical topics studied include: full-time and part-time employment, recreation and sports, basic purchases, checking and savings accounts, credit, automobile expenses, transportation, taxes, housing, trade industries, other professions, personal finance and investments. A scientific calculator would be helpful. |
