Course Description   The basics of algebraic and geometric reasoning and representation developed in middle school, Algebra 1, Geometry, and Algebra 2 are embedded throughout the Pre-Calculus curriculum.  In the Pre-Calculus curriculum, students use symbolic reasoning and analytical methods to represent mathematical situations, to express generalizations, and to study mathematical concepts and relationships.  Functions, equations, and limits are used to analyze, represent, and connect ideas in geometry, probability, statistics, trigonometry, and calculus, as well as to model physical situations and solve real life problems. (TEA, 2006)
