2 SEMESTERS
1.2 GRADE WT.

Prerequisites:   Advanced Algebra and Trigonometry or Pre-Calculus and Trigonometry Honors; Satisfactory COMPASS placement test score for dual credit in Math 170

Students will use functions represented in a variety of ways:  graphical, numerical, analytical, or verbal to solve real-life problems. They will use limits, derivatives, and integrals to solve problems. They will model a written description of a physical situation with a function, a differential equation, or an integral.

REMARKS: Texas Instrument Graphing Calculator (TI-84 plus or TI-NSpire) is strongly recommended. Students enrolled in this course have a dual credit option to receive college credit from Joliet Junior College.
