Trigonometry complements Algebra 2 by providing preparation for typical college mathematics courses below the level of calculus. The course offers a thorough treatment of trigonometric and circular functions. Graphs and properties of the six functions are presented in depth. Other topics include trigonometric equations, inverse trigonometric functions, and identities, solutions of triangles and applications of trigonometry. Probability and Statistics provides an understanding of the kinds of regularity that occur in random functions and provides experiences in associating probabilistic mathematical models with phenomena in the real world. Topics include averages, measures of variation, frequency distributions and probability functions associated with random variables, binomial distributions, sampling, the normal curve, and statistical methods available for decision making.
