253 - Hon Advanced Mathematics (4 credits) Students are encouraged to review selected content from the prerequisite courses during the preceding summer.
This intensive course prepares students to take college level courses in calculus and statistics. General ideas about functions are developed and used throughout the course, such as: multiple representations (graphical, numerical, algebraic, and verbal), function operations, composition and inverses, transformations, and modeling and regression. Specific topics include polynomial and rational functions, exponential and logarithmic functions, trigonometric functions, complex numbers and vectors, polar and parametric equations, matrices and linear systems, analytic geometry, combinations and probability, sequences and series, and limits. Students must adopt a theoretical approach to mathematics, reason carefully to solve problems, and communicate their ideas effectively. The course demands a substantial commitment of time and effort, and strong mathematical abilities and interests are essential for success.
