Financial Algebra

Interests: Business, Law, Math, Politics
Ever wondered, "How do I create a budget?" or "What's the secret to mastering debt?" Want to unravel the mysteries of taxes and insurance, and discover the keys to paving your way through college expenses? In this course, you will be using skills you have previously learned in Integrated Math 3 (or Algebra II) to deepen your knowledge on personal finances. Get ready to transform your understanding of money, making it not just about equations but about owning your financial future with confidence! Students can opt to take this class at the Honors level Prerequisites: Integrated Math 2 or Algebra 1

Discrete Mathematics and Linear Algebra

Interests: Business, Law, Math, Politics, Sports
This course introduces two interconnected areas of modern mathematics and the shared ways of thinking that link them. Students explore discrete topics such as counting, probability, patterns, and finite systems while also learning how these ideas can be represented and analyzed using vectors, matrices, and systems of equations. Special emphasis is placed on common tools across both disciplines, including mathematical modeling, logical reasoning, matrix representations of data and networks, and optimization. Throughout the course, students apply these connected ideas to problems in computer science, economics, and data analysis, seeing how discrete structures and linear algebra work together to describe patterns, make predictions, and solve real-world problems. Students can opt to take this course at the Honors level. Prerequisites: Integrated Math 2 or Algebra 1

Calculus – Derivatives & Integrals

The Derivatives course includes all of the topics of an introductory Calculus course including limits, derivatives and their applications. The Integrals course includes all of the topics of an introductory Calculus course including definite integrals, indefinite integrals and their applications. Prerequisite: Precalculus. Offered at the Honors and Standard levels. Honors level requires departmental recommendation.

Statistics

This course includes the gathering of data and a variety of sampling techniques, hypothesis testing, frequency distribution, normal distribution, correlation, linear regression, theoretical distributions, and inferential statistics. This course asks students to consider questions such as these: How is data summarized so that it is intelligible? How should statistical data be interpreted? How can we measure the inherent uncertainty built into statistical data? Students will be asked to collect, analyze and interpret real data to answer real questions in their areas of interest. Students can opt to take this class at the Honors level. Prerequisites: Integrated Math 3 or Algebra 2 and Geometry

Advanced Math Topics (Honors)

In this course, students will be asked to grapple with a range of topics that extend beyond fundamental calculus topics. Topics covered may include but are not limited to l’Hospital’s rule, linear approximations, differentials, Newton’s Method of Approximation, center of mass, arc length, surface area, and differential equations. Students will be asked to think creatively and apply their knowledge to complex real-world problems and extend their knowledge of fundamental calculus topics. Students taking Advanced Calculus or others with a strong interest in pursuing advanced mathematics at the college level are strongly encouraged. Class offered at the Honors level only Prerequisites: Advanced Calculus or departmental permission

Advanced Calculus – Derivatives & Integrals (Honors)

This course covers all of the topics of an introductory Calculus course, exploring concepts in depth with a greater emphasis on both the abstract aspects of calculus and its various applications in the real world. Students will be expected to enter the class with a firm grasp of all concepts covered in previous math courses. Prerequisite: Precalculus and departmental recommendation. Offered at the Honors level only.
