Precalculus
Precalculus is an advanced form of secondary school algebra intended to prepare students for the study of calculus. Pre-calculus typically includes a review of algebra, as well as an introduction to exponential, logarithmic and trigonometric functions and analytic geometry. Equivalent courses are introduction to analysis, college algebra, and trigonometry.
