Precalculus: Mr. Fularz

Overview

Precalculus is a two term course with a final exam given at the end of the year.  We will cover topics including:  vectors, parametic equations, conics, modeling with data, functions (ten basic, polynomial, power, rational, exponential, logistic, and logarithmic) and their graphs. 

AB SUMMER ASSIGNMENT      Download:   MS WORD    or    PDF

Guidelines

1.   Due Date: The first "hour" period of the first cycle of school.  Late work is not acceptable, but the paper may be handed into the switchboard at any time during the summer.

2.   All work must be neat (some will type), accurate, and complete. In general, show all   your work. Justify steps when appropriate. Show pictures/graphs when appropriate.   Spell correctly, label axes, and include units (always to three decimal place accuracy).

3.   Commence each problem with a statement of the problem. (This can be cut and pasted.)  This also implies that the work is not done on the hand-out, but on separate paper.4.   This will be the first evaluation of your AB course and will constitute a significant  portion of the first term grade.

5.   Plagiarism is defined as the sharing/ copying of written work. You are encouraged,   however, to form study groups and to discuss problems, without limitation, amongst   yourselves. Papers, however, will be evaluated for identical work and conclusions.

6.   Except where noted, you may use your calculator freely.

7.   Numerous hours are required to successfully complete this paper. Please manage your time carefully.
