PLACEMENT IN THIS COURSE REQUIRES APPROVAL BY THE DEPARTMENT CHAIR/IB COORDINATOR.
This course develops curiosity and enjoyment of mathematics, and appreciation for its elegance and power. Students develop logical and critical thinking and refine their powers of abstraction and generalization.
Students with a solid background in precalculus explore exponential, logarithmic, rational, and polynomial functions and function operations, statistics and probability, sequences and series, and advanced trigonometry. The course moves on to methods of proof and the study of differential and integral calculus.
