Prerequisite: Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II

Grade 10, 1 credit, AP/DC weighted GPA AP Precalculus centers on functions modeling dynamic phenomena. This research-based exploration of functions is designed to better prepare students for college-level calculus and provide grounding for other mathematics and science courses. In this course, students study a broad spectrum of function types that are foundational for careers in mathematics, physics, biology, health science, social science, and data science. Furthermore, as AP Precalculus may be the last mathematics course of a student’ s secondary education, the course is structured to provide a coherent capstone experience and is not exclusively focused on preparation for future courses.
