This is the third in a sequence of mathematics courses designed to prepare students to enter college at the calculus level. It includes exponential and logarithmic functions, matrices, and polynomial functions of higher degree, conic sections, and normal distributions. (Prerequisite: Instruction and assessment should include the appropriate use of manipulatives and technology. Topics should be represented in multiple ways, such as concrete/pictorial, verbal/written, numeric/data-based, graphical, and symbolic. Concepts should be introduced and used, where appropriate, in the context of realistic phenomena.
