Dr. Christopher Raridan PhD in Mathematics, 2008 The University of Alabama Assistant Professor of Mathematics College of Information and Mathematical Sciences 2000 Clayton State Boulevard Morrow, Georgia 30260-0285 |
COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course provides a study of trigonometry. Topics include angle measurement, solving triangles, fundamental trigonometric identities, solving trigonometric equations, an introduction to trigonometric functions of real numbers and their graphs, and conic sections and their graphs. Additional topics may include an introduction to parametric equations. Mathematical theory will be supported by appropriate applications. COMMON LEARNING OUTCOMES: After successful completion of the course the student will be able to: 1. Identify the inherent restrictions on the domain and range of trigonometric functions. 2. Understand the interconnectedness of various modes of defining relations (numeric, graphical, generalized) and be able to analyze relations from numeric, graphical, and symbolic points of view; shift among them when appropriate; and justify this through inductive or deductive reasoning. 3. Be capable through inductive and deductive reasoning of moving from one to another of those modes of definition. 4. Recognize and apply knowledge of trigonometry and analytic geometry to solve a variety of applied problems. 5. Use appropriate technology in the evaluation, analysis and synthesis of information in problem-solving situations. |
