Septima P. Clark Corporate Academy

     This course is the final course in the applied mathematics sequence that focuses on the student's ability to understand and apply mathematics to real world problems. Skills from previous courses are applied to the realm of dealing with data. Students are expected to utilize scientific calculators, graphing calculators, and/or computer software.

   This course is designed to provide students with a strong background in algebraic concepts and processes. Topics include the concepts of variables, algebraic expressions, and equations; representations of situations and number patterns with tables, graphs, verbal rules, and equations; investigating inequalities and nonlinear equations; use of matrices to solve linear systems; and applications of methods to solve a variety of real-world and mathematical problems. This course can be taken after Mathematics for the Technologies 1.

     This course is designed to provide students with a strong background in algebraic concepts and processes. Topics include understanding algebraic and geometric representations of functions, quadratic, square root, and absolute value functions, rational and exponential functions, geometric structure and patterns. This course can be taken after Mathematics for the Technologies 3.

     This course is designed to provide students with the study of visual patterns. Topics will include geometric structure, geometric patterns, and geometry of location, geometry of size, and geometry of shape. Honors Geometry may be taken concurrently with Algebra 2 or Probability and Statistics.

     This course is designed to provide students with enhanced mathematical concepts and topics in the area of functions, sequences and series, parametric representations, polar representations, and vectors.

     This course is appropriate for students who have completed Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry and Pre-Calculus (Math Methods or Math Studies). In particular, students must be familiar with the properties of functions, the algebra of functions, and the graphs of functions. Students must also understand the language of various functions (domain and range, odd and even, periodic, symmetry, zeros, intercepts, etc.) and be very familiar with the Unit Circle and the values of trigonometric functions of numbers.

     This course is designed to provide students with the study of representing data, regression analysis, and scatter plots, probability and probability distributions.
