Home > Precalculus
From the point of view of mathematical education, pre-calculus is a foundational mathematical discipline. Courses and textbooks in pre-calculus are intended to prepare students for the study of calculus. Pre-calculus typically includes a review of algebra, as well as an introduction to exponential, logarithmic and trigonometric functions.In detail, precalculus deals with:
- logarithmic functions
- complex numbers
- quadratic equations and quadratic functions
- conic sections
- polynomial functions
- sequenceThis is a page about mathematics. For other usages of "sequence", see: sequence (non-mathematical). In mathematics, a sequence is a list of objects (or events) which have been ordered in a sequential fashion; such that each member either comes before, ors and seriesIn mathematics, a series is a sum of a sequence of terms. That is, a series is a list of numbers with addition operations between them, e. g, :1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 +. which may or may not be meaningful. In most cases of interest the terms of the sequence are
- binomial expansions
- vectorA vector in physics and engineering typically refers to a quantity that has close relationship to the spatial coordinates, informally described as an object with a "magnitude" and a "direction". The word vector is also now used for more general concepts (s
- trigonometryTrigonometry (Greek: "the measure of triangles") is a branch of mathematics dealing with angles, triangles and trigonometric functions such as sine and cosine . It has some relationship to geometry, though there is disagreement on exactly what that relati
- trigonometric functions
- inverseInverse typically means the opposite of something. See: Antonym A word with the opposite meaning. Inverse chain rule method Related to integration and differentiation. Inverse element an element x minus;1 so that x x minus;1 x minus;1 x e where is some bis of trigonometric function
- trigonometric identitiesIn mathematics, trigonometric identities (or trig identities for short) are equations involving trigonometric functions that are true for all values of the occurring variables. These identities are useful whenever expressions involving trigonometric funct
