AP Calculus AB extends upon the topics taught in the Calculus course and meets the criteria set forth for Calculus AB by the College Board. Topics of study include differential equations, linear motion, area between curves, volume of revolution and advanced integration techniques. The course will also include a review of topics from the first semester using AP exam-level questions. Students will learn how to approach AP multiple choice and free response questions to help prepare for the Calculus AB exam. Prerequisite: successful completion of Honors Calculus 311 course and instructor approval.

This course includes an introduction to probability, combinatorics, and permutations as well as all the elements of statistical analyses using all the parts of descriptive statistics. Higher level elements of statistics such as correlation,inference and Chi-square are introduced. Calculators and computers are used extensively in doing some of the more tedious tasks involved with this sort of study. The course is intended for college-bound students with a strong background in algebra and geometry. The RACC dual-enrollment option is available for this class. 

During this course students will integrate hands-on programming with book knowledge on such subjects as the history of computers, the central processing unit and memory, input and output devices, and secondary storage devices. This course is a prerequisite for all other computer programming courses offered by the Math Department. (This course is an elective and does not count as a math credit.)

AP Computer Information Science is a rigorous course designed for the student who wants to further his/her study of computer programming and prepare for the advanced placement computer science exam. Advanced topics will be explored. Course prerequisite:  316 - AP Computer Science and Software Engineering (PLTW), and course instructor approval. This course prepares students to take the AP Computer Science A exam. 

Students will be given a foundation in PLTW STEM/Computer Science that will enable them to be successful in other STEM/Computer Science courses offered later in the pathway by PLTW, and begin to prepare them for the AP Computer science exams. Using Python® as a primary tool and incorporating multiple platforms and languages for computation, this course aims to develop computational thinking, generate excitement about career paths that utilize computing, and introduce professional tools that foster creativity and collaboration. CSE helps students develop programming expertise and explore the workings of the Internet. Projects and problems include app development, visualization of data, cybersecurity, and simulation. This course prepares students to take the AP Computer Science Principles exam.

Algebra II reviews equations and inequalities. Other topics covered in this course include solving quadratic and polynomial functions; simplifying problems involving powers, real numbers, and radicals; and understanding exponential, logarithmic, and rational functions. Students will make connections to gain understanding of topics covered in Algebra II by exploring and problem solving via technology, individual, and group work. Prerequisite: successful completion of Algebra I and Geometry and course instructor approval.

This course includes the study of reasoning and proofs, parallel and perpendicular lines, triangles, quadrilaterals, circles, and polygons. The study of triangles will include congruency, similarity, and an introduction to right triangle trigonometry. Prerequisite: successful completion of Algebra I.
