Precalculus

Accelerate Your Advanced Math Concepts: This seven-week summer course will take you on a fast-paced journey through a full year of high school precalculus. With a focus on functions—transformations, domain and range, and visual representations—you’ll also deepen your understanding of equivalence across numerical, graphical, and algebraic forms while mastering algebraic manipulation. You’ll apply existing skills to new situations as you tackle projects involving polynomials, matrices, trigonometry, sequences, and series while analyzing situations, creating models, and developing solutions. The experience culminates in a final project where you’ll apply everything you’ve learned to explore and present a complex scenario.

Why Take This Course? Perfect for motivated students looking to accelerate their math studies, this rigorous course will prepare you for success in higher-level mathematics. Expect an intensive schedule (dedicating 15-20 hours per week) for a rigorous and engaging challenge.

Prerequisite: Algebra 2 or its equivalent

Students in GOA courses will need reliable access to a computer with webcam/microphone connections, an email address (preferably school-based), a Web-conferencing app (GOA courses use Zoom), and a Word processing app (GOA courses use Google’s G Suite). When necessary, alternative arrangements may be made. Some courses require additional materials which can be found here.
