MTH-1130 - College Analytic Trigonometry* (M) (3)

Prerequisite: MTH-1120
Designed to provide students with a functional approach to trigonometry, this course is intended primarily for students with scientific or technical majors, and with MTH-1120 , prepares students for the study of calculus. Topics include trigonometric functions and their inverses, solutions of trigonometric equations, identities, right triangles, laws of sines and cosines, vectors, complex numbers, polar coordinates and other topics in analytic geometry. Graphical interpretations are emphasized throughout the course. Some topics are supported by the use of computer software and the use of graphing calculators. This course satisfies the General Education Mathematics requirement.
