MATH 151 Lecture Notes - Analytic Geometry, Precalculus
Document Summary
Precalculus is a math course that prepares students for the study of calculus. It covers a wide range of topics, including algebra, trigonometry, and analytic geometry. Trigonometry is used to model and analyze periodic phenomena, such as waves and oscillations: analytic geometry: this involves the study of geometric shapes and their properties using algebraic techniques. It is used to solve problems involving combinations, permutations, and probability. Precalculus is an important course for students who plan to study calculus or other advanced math or science courses, as it lays the foundation for further study in these areas.
