Give your students a balanced study of the theoretical foundations of Calculus and the practical real-world applications of those foundations with this Precalculus course. Before diving into trigonometry and its applications, students will review key families of functions. Along the way, special features present a biblical perspective of mathematics and its history. To complete their foundation for higher mathematics, they will study matrices, analytic geometry, and sequences and series. Additionally, students will be introduced to descriptive and inferential statistics as well as differential and integral calculus.

A core objective of the course is to teach students to use statistics to represent data and make inferences. The student edition includes expanded sections covering descriptive and inferential statistics.

The student text includes new features including Biblical Perspective of Mathematics, Historical Connections, Technology Corner, and Data Analysis that help them to appreciate and apply the concepts they learn.

The student edition offers additional opportunities for practice by including more exercises in each section and chapter review. Expanded cumulative reviews in each section also include college entrance preparatory questions.

The student edition thoroughly develops key concepts, providing detailed examples to promote student comprehension and integrating practical applications. The text includes multiple representations of concepts and problems, including algebraic, numeric, and graphical representations. The exercise sets provide three levels of difficulty to allow differentiated assignments. Each section includes cumulative reviews to help with long-term mastery and to prepare students for standardized tests and college entrance tests. Students will have the opportunity to use technology to explore mathematical concepts in the Technology Corner feature. They will learn about the TI-84 Plus family of graphic calculators, the Desmos Internet graphing calculator, and about creating and using their own Excel spreadsheets.

The teacher edition provides presentation suggestions, motivational ideas, and descriptions of common student errors. Reduced student pages with overprint answers and step-by-step solutions simplify grading. It also includes math-journaling suggestions and additional keyword searches to locate interactive activities. In addition to the Lesson Plan Overview, it provides alternative minimum and extended tracks with suggested assignments for each track that enable customization of lessons.

The assessment packet includes twelve chapter tests, four quarterly exams, and regular quizzes for each chapter. Each assessment is carefully coordinated with lesson objectives. The corresponding answer key contains answers and step-by-step solutions for quizzes, tests, and quarterly exams.

The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science offers major programs leading to the bachelor of science in mathematics or the bachelor of science in computer science, as well as required and elective courses for students majoring in other fields. Either major may be pursued with any of three principal goals: preparation for graduate studies leading to advanced degrees in pure mathematics, applied mathematics, computer science, statistics, operations research, or other fields; preparation for secondary school teaching of mathematics or computer science; or preparation for a research career in business, industry, or government. The major in mathematics may be taken with an emphasis in applied mathematics, data science, financial mathematics, mathematical economics, or mathematics education. The emphasis in mathematics education is designed to prepare majors to take the California Subject Examination for Teachers (CSET). The major in computer science offers emphases specializing in algorithms and complexity, data science, security, software, or one of the student's choosing. Minors in mathematics or computer science are also available.

The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science maintains a program for the discovery, encouragement, and development of talent in mathematics or computer science among undergraduates. This program includes special sections, seminars, individual conferences, and directed study guided by selected faculty members. Students are also encouraged to participate actively in research projects directed by faculty.

In addition to fulfilling undergraduate Core Curriculum requirements for the bachelor of science degree, students majoring in mathematics or computer science must complete the following departmental requirements for the respective degree:

PHYS 31 and 32. Students with a special interest in the application of mathematics in the social sciences or economics may substitute ECON 170 or 173 for PHYS 32. Students planning to teach in secondary schools may substitute, with approval of the department chair, PHYS 11 and 12 for PHYS 31 and 32.

Individual emphasis of the student's choosing: In order to pursue this emphasis, a student must get their courses approved along with their advisor's signature at least three quarters before they graduate. Three of the five upper-division courses must be CSCI or MATH. The following are two examples:

For the major in either mathematics or computer science, at least four of the required upper-division courses in the major must be taken at Santa Clara. A single upper-division course in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science may not be used to satisfy requirements for two majors or minors.

Three approved 5-unit upper-division mathematics courses with no more than one course selected from MATH 165 and 166. In place of MATH 165 or 166, a student may select an upper-division computer science course, but two of the three courses must be designated MATH. MATH 100, 192, 195, and CSCI 192 do not count toward the minor.

The State of California requires that students seeking a credential to teach mathematics or computer science in California secondary schools must pass the California Subject Examination for Teachers (CSET), a subject area competency examination. The secondary teaching credential additionally requires the completion of an approved credential program, which can be completed as a fifth year of study and student teaching, or through an undergraduate summer program internship. Students who are contemplating secondary school teaching in mathematics or computer science should consult with the coordinator in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science as early as possible.

For students majoring in arts and humanities. Topics chosen from set theory, logic, counting techniques, number systems, graph theory, financial management, voting methods, and other suitable areas. Material will generally be presented in a setting that allows students to participate in the discovery and development of important mathematical ideas. Emphasis on problem solving and doing mathematics. (4 units)

Introduction to finite mathematics with applications to the social sciences. Sets and set operations, Venn diagrams, trees, permutations, combinations, probability (including conditional probability and Bernoulli processes), discrete random variables, probability distributions, and expected value. (4 units)

Elementary topics in statistics, including descriptive statistics, regression, probability, random variables and distributions, the central limit theorem, confidence intervals and hypothesis testing for one population and for two populations, goodness of fit, and contingency tables. (4 units)

College algebra and trigonometry for students intending to take calculus. Does not fulfill the undergraduate Core Curriculum requirement in mathematics. Requires enrollment in weekly lab session - MATH 9L. (4 units)

Focus on active learning to prepare students for calculus. Does not necessarily coordinate topics with Math 9 on a weekly basis. Instead, the lab sessions are designed to help students to build overall strength in non-routine problem solving. (1 unit)

Limits and differentiation. Methods and applications of differentiation. Ordinarily, only one of MATH 11, 30, or 35 may be taken for credit. Note: MATH 11 is not a suitable prerequisite for MATH 31 or 36 without additional preparation. Prerequisite: MATH 9 or a passing grade on the Calculus Readiness Exam. If MATH 9 is taken, a grade of C- or higher is strongly recommended before taking MATH 11. (4 units)

Further applications of differentiation. Integration and the fundamental theorem of calculus. Methods and applications of integration. Only one of MATH 12, 31, or 36 may be taken for credit. Note: MATH 30 and 35 are not suitable prerequisites for MATH 12 without additional preparation. Prerequisite: MATH 11 or equivalent.
