Regents Examination. 1 credit.
Sequential Mathematics Course IV – Local Grade Level: 12 This course is designed for those regents students who have completed sequential mathematics course I, II and III, who are going on to college, but may not be mastering in Mathematics. This course will prepare them for their entrance level mathematics course as a freshman in college. This course will end in a school examination. 1 credit.
Problem Solving In Mathematics Grade Level: Multi This course is designed for those students who will not take Sequential Mathematics Course IV or Pre-Calculus. This course ends in a school examination covering the course in basic problem solving techniques. 1 credit.
Pre-Calculus – Regents & Honors Grade Level: 12 Prerequisite: Sequential Mathematics Course III (Regents). Real and complex numbers, linear and quadratic functions and general theory of equations, logarithms, series, binomial theorem, variation, permutations and probability; and topics from differential calculus. Using the tools of coordinate Geometry, a study of the properties of lines and curves as the parabola, the ellipse, the circle, and the hyperbola. A study of geometry by algebraic means with emphasis on the representation of lines, conics, and others in a school-prepared examination. 1 credit.
Advanced Placement in Math/Calculus – College Level Prerequisite: Pre-Calculus or approval of Department Head. A college level course in introductory calculus which leads to testing by the Educational Testing Service, and may provide college credit for pupils. Pupils enrolling in this course are expected to take the Mathematics/Calculus AP Examination in May. 1 credit.
Advanced Placement in Statistics – College Level Prerequisite: Pre-Calculus or teacher approval. Introduction to college level statistics, covering descriptive and inferential statistics. Pupils enrolling in this course are expected to take the Mathematics/Calculus AP examination in May.
