Math B 2yr (1) is intended
as the third course in a Mathematics sequence. Students
enrolled in the Math B 2yr program can still meet the
requirements for the Advanced Regents Diploma if they
complete both years of the program. The course will
cover approximately one half of the Math B topics and
will culminate with a local final exam. |
| Applied
Math 1 |
This
course is intended as a third course in a Mathematics
sequence. The course will include both mathematical
skills and theory. The primary focus will be the
investigation of mathematics in real world situations.
Topics of study will include linear and quadratic
models, personal finance and the stock market, and
trigonometry. |
| Math 12
Honors |
Math 12H is intended for
students who have completed the Math B Honors course.
This course will cover in greater depth the topics of
Pre-Calculus. Additional topics will be studied including
sequences, series, limits, number theory, linear
programming, spatial geometry, linear algebra, etc. |
| Pre-Calculus |
Pre-Calculus
is recommended for students planning to study
engineering, computers, mathematics, or business at the
college level. Examples of topics studied include
functions, conics, systems of equations, and plane
analytic geometry. |
| Math 12N |
This course is recommended
for students who plan to attend a four-year college and
not major in a science or math related field. The course
will include the study of some or all of the following
topics: Functions, systems of equations, discrete
mathematics, and statistics. |
| Math
B 2yr (2) |
Math B
2yr (2) is intended for those students who have
completed the first half of Math B. The topics covered
in this course include: Transformations, probability,
statistics, sequences, and multiple topics in
trigonometry. The course will culminate with the Math B
Regents Exam. |
| Applied
Math 2 |
Applied Math 2 will be a
continuation of Applied Math 1. There will be a
continual emphasis on mathematics theory as it is used
in various real world situations. Graphing calculators
and various computer programs will be used extensively
to explore the connections between mathematical
functions and their use in solving problems from many
types of business and industry. |
| Advanced
Placement Calculus (AB) |
This
college level course in calculus is designed to prepare
students for the Advanced Placement exam in May.
Colleges may grant credit or advanced standing based on
the performance on this exam. The content involves differential
and integral calculus - including limits, continuity,
derivatives of implicit and explicit algebraic functions
as well as logarithmic and trigonometric functions.
There is a charge for taking the advanced placement
exam. |
| Advanced
Placement Calculus (BC) |
Calculus BC is intended for
students who have completed the Math 12 Honors course.
This college level course in calculus is designed to
prepare students for the Advanced Placement exam in May.
Colleges may grant credit or advanced standing based on
the performance on this exam. BC Calculus is
considerably more extensive than AB Calculus. The topics
covered in this course are equivalent to a second
semester college course in calculus, as well as all the
topics in AB Calculus. There is a charge for taking the
advanced placement exam. |
| Advanced
Placement Computer Science |
This
college level course in computer science is designed to
prepare students for the Advanced Placement exam in May.
Colleges may grant credit or advanced standing based on
the performance on this exam. The major emphasis in this
course is on programming methodology, algorithms, and
data structures. Applications of computing provide the
context in which these subjects are treated.
Applications are used to develop student awareness of
the need for particular algorithms and data structures
as well as to provide topics for programming assignments
to which students can apply their knowledge. JAVA is the
programming language used in this course. There is a
charge for taking the advanced placement exam. |
| Statistics |
This course is intended for
students looking for a third or fourth credit in
mathematics. Students should have at least completed
the Integrated Algebra curriculum. Statistics is one of
the most widely used applications of mathematics and
this course is intended to teach students how to use
statistics to interpret the world around them. Students
will learn about collecting data and sampling
techniques, organizing data for presenting information,
analyzing data to make good decisions, and evaluating
other people’s studies to judge their validity. Students
will be responsible for an independent statistics
project at the end of the third quarter. A local final
exam will be given in June. A graphing calculator will
be required for the course. The recommended models are
the TI-84+ and the TI-83+. |
| Computer
Programming 1 - Offered both semesters |
This
introductory computer programming course will introduce
students to the techniques of programming using the
Visual Basic language. A history of computers and flow
charting will be used. Programs will require the use of
accumulators and counters, nested loops, round-off
procedures, random numbers, subscripted variables, and
many other programming techniques. Individual projects
will be required. |
| Computer
Programming 2 - Offered Semester 2 |
This advanced computer
programming course will extend skills and techniques to
problems requiring two and three dimensional arrays,
sorting arrays, searching arrays, advanced string
variables, documentation and data files. It will also
explore graphics and graphic techniques. Individual
projects will be required. |
