MAT* 184 - Trigonometry with Embedded Algebra

Credit(s): 4
Prerequisite(s): MAT* 085, MAT* 095, MAT* 104, or a qualifying score on Placement Test.
This course introduces trigonometry through a functional approach. Trigonometric functions are defined through the unit circle and then applied to triangulation problems. Topics include trigonometric identities, inverse trigonometric functions, oblique triangle trigonometry and the graphs of the trigonometric functions, vectors and the polar coordinate system. Linear, rational, and quadratic functions will be explored in support of the learning of trigonometry. This course will require the use of a graphing calculator.
