This course will prepare students for the study of calculus.  Students will study transformations to graphs of functions, and properties of polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions along with their graphs.  We will also cover linear systems and matrices, sequences and series, and topics in two- and three- dimensional analytic geometry, including polar and parametric representations.  Limits will be covered as an introduction to calculus.  Graphing calculators are used extensively.
