Trigonometry and Statistics
This course is an elective for both juniors and seniors, where students study a semester of trigonometry and a semester of statistics. Approached from a practical viewpoint, the trigonometry portion of the course exposes students to triangle trigonometry, radian measure, circular trigonometry and reference angles, graphs of trigonometric functions, inverse functions, identities, equations and if time permits vectors and polar coordinates. In the statistics portion of the course, students study descriptive statistics, probability, the normal distribution, estimation and hypothesis testing. If time permits linear regression is also addressed. The use of the TI83/84 calculator is extensive.
