This course is designed for students who enter high school with above average mathematical ability. It integrates various topics in algebra, Euclidian and coordinate geometry, as well as an introduction to the topics of logic, probability, and statistics, with a special emphasis on problem solving skills and real life applications of math. Students will be introduced to the use of the TI-83 graphing calculator through these applications. Students are required to take the New York State Math A exam in June.

This course is designed for students who enter high school with below average mathematical ability. This course will review pre-algebra topics, as well as integrate various topics from algebra and geometry on a basic level. Special emphasis will be placed on problem solving skills and real-life applications of math.

This course is designed for students who have successfully completed Math 1 Honors and for incoming freshmen who have received a satisfactory grade on the Math A Regents exam. The first semester will emphasize topics from Euclidean geometry, including proofs, and symbolic logic. The second semester will emphasize topics from intermediate algebra including rational, irrational, and complex numbers, relations, and functions.

This course is designed for students who have successfully completed Math 1 (formerly Math 1 Basic). It will emphasize further integration of topics in algebra, Euclidean and coordinate geometry, probability, statistics and trigonometry. Special emphasis will be placed on problem solving skills in preparation for the New York State Math A Regents exam, which the students are required to take in June.

This course is designed for students who have successfully completed Math 2 Honors. Major topics of the first semester include trigonometric functions, exponential and logarithmic functions, probability and statistics. The second semester will emphasize topics from pre-calculus including matrices and vectors, limits and derivatives, trigonometric applications, and polar coordinates. Students are required to take the New York State Math B Regents exam.

This course is designed for students who have successfully completed Math 2 (formerly Math 2 Basic), but who have not yet passed the New York State Math A Regents exam. It allows for further study of various topics in intermediate algebra, Euclidean and coordinate geometry, while providing an intensive review for students who are preparing to re-take the exam.

This course is designed for students who have successfully completed Math 2 Regents (formerly Math 2). The first semester will emphasize topics in Euclidean geometry, including proofs, and symbolic logic. The second semester will emphasize topics from intermediate algebra including real and complex numbers, relations and functions.

This course provides further study of topics covered in Math 3 including functions and trigonometry, as well as selected topics from pre-calculus. It is an excellent college preparatory course for those students interested in the sciences, mathematics, or engineering. Prerequisite: Successful completion of Math 3 Regents (formerly Math 3) or Math 3 (formerly Math 3 Basic) and departmental approval. Students have the option to take the New York State Math B Regents exam.

Probability is the relative frequency with which random events occur in a long series of trials. Statistics is concerned with methods for drawing conclusions from results of experiments or processes. Topics that will be covered in this course include: set notation, Bayes’s Rule, random variables, Tchebysheff’s Theorem, and analyzing trends and results of polls. Prerequisite: Successful completion of Math 2.

The curriculum is designed to prepare students for college level calculus. Major topics include: linear programming, matrices and vectors, theory of equations; limits and derivatives, trigonometric applications, sequences and series, polar coordinates, complex numbers, natural logarithms, advanced probability and statistics. Knowledge of such topics will be enriched by the use of the Texas Instruments-83 graphing calculator. Students will have the option to take the New York State Math B Regents exam. This course is also open to juniors taking Math 3 Regents (formerly Math 3) who have a special interest in mathematics and are considering taking AP Calculus in senior year. A minimum average of 90% in Math 2 Regents (formerly Math 2) and department approval are required. Prerequisite: Departmental approval and a minimum average of 80% in Math 3 Honors, or 85% in Math 3 Regents (formerly Math 3).

This is a college level calculus course that covers differential and integrated calculus. Students may take the AP exam in AB Calculus upon completion of the course to earn college credit. Prerequisite: Minimum average of 85% in Math 3 Honors or Pre-Calculus or 90% in Math 3 Regents (formerly Math 3) and departmental approval.

This course is designed for students who have not yet earned the minimum score on the New York State Math A Regents exam required for graduation. It will provide an intense review of various topics in algebra and geometry covered in previous mathematics courses, with special emphasis on problem solving skills. Students are required to take the Math A Regents exam.

This course will focus on mathematics with consumer applications. It includes topics such as profit and loss, rate of discount, list price, sales price, commission, and total sales. Other topics include finding the cost of buying on credit or on an installment plan, simple interest, compound interest, mortgage payments, Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA) and income tax.
