Pre-Calculus

This course is a dual enrollment course with LSU. Students may receive college credit for MATH 1021 (College Algebra) during the Fall Semester. LSU fees apply. Topics include: solving equations and inequalities; function properties and graphs with transformations; inverse functions; linear, quadratic, polynomial, rational, exponential and logarithmic functions with applications; systems of equations. During the Spring Semester, students may receive college credit for MATH 1431 (Calculus with Business and Economic Applications). LSU fees apply. Topics include: differential and integral calculus of algebraic, logarithmic, and exponential functions; applications to business and economics, such as maximum- minimum problems, marginal analysis, and exponential growth models.

Calculus Honors

This is a full year course for students who have a thorough knowledge of algebra, axiomatic and analytic geometry, trigonometry, functions, and pre-calculus. Topics include differentiation and integration of functions in one variable as they relate to the tangent line problem, optimization problems, related rates problems, and velocity/acceleration problems. Development of a strong foundation in the basics of calculus will prepare students for physics and college mathematics.

Calculus AB Honors AP

This course is modeled on the College Board curriculum for Calculus AB, including a comprehensive treatment of differentiation and integration of functions in one variable in rectangular form and applications of these concepts. One objective of the course is to prepare students for the Calculus AB AP Exam, which may qualify them for college credit in calculus. The student commits to participate in Advanced Placement testing. Practice exams and in-depth problem solving are explored throughout the course as preparation.

Calculus BC Honors AP

This course is modeled on the College Board curriculum for Calculus BC, including a comprehensive treatment of differentiation and integration of functions in one variable in rectangular, polar, and parametric forms and applications of these concepts as well as polynomial approximations using sequences and series. One objective of the course is to prepare students for the Calculus BC AP Exam, which may qualify them for college credit in calculus. The student commits to participate in Advanced Placement testing. Practice exams and in-depth problem solving are explored throughout the course as preparation.

Statistics Honors AP

This course is modeled on the College Board curriculum for Statistics, including an introduction to the major concepts and tools for collecting, analyzing, and drawing conclusions from data. Students will learn how to describe patterns and departures from patterns, plan and conduct a study, explore random phenomena using probability and simulation, estimate population parameters, and test hypotheses. One objective of the course is to prepare students for the Statistics AP Exam, which may qualify them for college credit in statistics. The student commits to participate in Advanced Placement testing. Practice exams and in-depth problem solving are explored throughout the course as preparation.
