Mathematics Courses Descriptions/Publishers

FOUR credits required for students entering the ninth grade in 2007-2008 or after. *Algebra I, or an equivalent course is required.

*Students entering high school in 2010-2011 add Geometry as a required course.

*Students entering high school in 2012-2013 add Algebra II as a required course.

*Algebra IA, IB, Algebra I or Algebra I Honors are equivalent courses only one will count. Note: Graduates in 2012 are the last class that may count Algebra IA and Algebra IB as two credits towards the Bright Futures Scholarship.

College Preparatory Track (Meets the requirements for the Bright Futures Scholarship) A total of four math credits at the Algebra I level and above.
Algebra I (or Algebra IA and Algebra IB through 2012)
Geometry
Algebra II as the foundation, then adding:
College Algebra, Pre-Calculus or Trigonometry to complete the requirements

The Standard Diploma Track still requires Algebra I or an equivalent course(s) and Geometry, but can then be followed by Business Math and Consumer Math instead of Algebra II, etc.

Click on the name of a course in its table below to download the detailed course description in PDF form. Below each course code number and name is a brief description of the course followed by the publishers and course material that fulfill the course requirements.

A backgound and description of the format used by individual publishers can be found in the "Parent Directed Education, Orientation to Homeschooling" section of this web site, under the "Choosing a Curriculum" page.

Prerequisites: MAT 0024 or appropriate placement examination score
This course provides the foundation for higher-level courses in algebra through the development of algebraic skills, as well as examination of the basic mathematical principles underlying those skills. The course topics include factoring, rational expressions, linear and quadratic equations, rational exponents, radical expressions, graphing, systems of equations and inequalities, complex numbers, rational equations, functions, proportion and variation, and applications.


MAC 1105 College Algebra
3 hours Lecture,
3 college credits, 1 high school credit
Lower-Division College Credit
Prerequisites: A grade of C or better in MAT 1033, or appropriate placement examination score
This course is intended for students whose programs of study require a strong background in college algebra, or those who need preparation for more advanced mathematics courses. Topics include general properties of functions; the graphs of linear, absolute value, quadratic, rational, radical, exponential, and logarithmic functions; equations and inequalities associated with these functions; graphs and equations of circles; and systems of equations and inequalities. A graphing calculator (TI-83 or equivalent) is required.


MAC 1114 Trigonometry
3 hours Lecture,
3 college credits, 1 high school credit
Lower-Division College Credit
Prerequisites: MAC 1105 or appropriate placement examination score
This course is intended for those students whose programs of study require trigonometry, or those who are preparing for higher mathematics. Students with a weak background in algebra may find the work difficult. Topics include properties and graphs of trigonometric and inverse trigonometric functions, trigonometric equations and trigonometric identities, solutions of triangles, as well as applications of trigonometry to vectors, complex numbers, and polar coordinates.

MAC 1140 Pre-Calculus Algebra
3 hours Lecture,
3 college credits, 1 high school credit
Lower-Division College Credit
Prerequisites: MAC 1105 or appropriate placement examination score
This course is intended for students whose programs of study require advanced algebra, or those who need preparation for Calculus I (MAC2311). Topics include: properties of functions and relations; the study of polynomial, rational, exponential, and logarithmic functions; systems of equations; matrices; determinants; mathematical induction; sequences and series; and conic sections.

MAC 1147 Pre-Calculus Algebra/Trigonometry
5 hours Lecture,
5 college credits, 1 high school credit
Lower-Division College Credit
Prerequisites: A grade of B or better in MAC 1105 or appropriate placement examination score
This course satisfies the dual requirements of Precalculus Algebra (MAC 1140) and Trigonometry (MAC 1114), and thus prepares the student for Calculus I (MAC 2311). Precalculus topics include the study of polynomial, rational, exponential, and logarithmic functions and their graphs; systems of equations and inequalities; matrices; and sequences and series. Trigonometry topics include the study of the trigonometric functions and their graphs, as well as identities, applications of trigonometry, solutions of triangles, complex numbers, and polar graphs.

This course provides the calculus needed by students in business, technologies, social sciences, and other areas that do not require a complete, detailed study of calculus. It is not intended as the first course in a complete series or as a substitute for a complete course in calculus. Topics include a study of limits and rate of change, as well as differentiation and integration of algebraic, logarithmic, and exponential functions with particular emphasis on applications. This course is not designed to satisfy the calculus requirement for students majoring in mathematics, science, or engineering. A graphing calculator (TI-83 or equivalent) is required.


MAC 2311 Calculus I
5 hours Lecture,
5 college credits, 1 high school credit
Lower-Division College Credit
Prerequisites: MAC 1140 and MAC 1114, or MAC 1147, or appropriate placement examination score
This course provides a study of limits, differentiation and integration of algebraic, trigonometric, logarithmic, and exponential functions; and applications involving the analysis of graphs, optimization, approximation, and rates of change. Students who enroll should have a strong background in algebra, plane geometry, and trigonometry. This course is essential to students majoring in mathematics, science, or engineering programs. Success in this course depends on a strong foundation in algebra and a willingness to devote ample time to studying and working problems. A graphing calculator (TI-83 or equivalent) is required.
