Material to be covered: We will be covering the following sections in the text: 6.1-6.7, 7.1-7.6, 8.1-8.6, and 10.3-10.4 and 11.1-11.2. Course Description: The topics covered will include: degree/radian measure, trig ratios, trig functions and their graphs, trig equations, trig identities, applied trigonometry, inverse trig functions, law of sines/cosines, vectors, complex numbers, and analytic geometry. Tests: In addition to a final exam, two in class tests will be given. Test one and two will be on January 30th and March 4th respectively. No makeup tests will be given. However, your lowest exam score may be replaced with your final exam score. Quizzes: There will be a total of five quizzes. No makeup quizzes will be given.
