This is an elementary course in plain trigonometry. The course includes a revision of functions and investigates in detail the trigonometric functions and their properties, acute angles and right triangles, radian measure and the circular functions, graphs of the circular functions, trigonometric identities, inverse trigonometric functions, and trigonometric equations. Trigonometric concepts are reinforced by examples of practical everyday applications and the use of mathematical software to perform mathematical modelling and to investigate the nature of trigonometric functions.

This course is designed for the student with a strong algebra and trigonometric background. It will be conducted in a format of theory, techniques, and applications of differential calculus in a combination of lectures, readings, discussions, presentation of projects, group work, modelling, and discovery. Topics to be included are: real numbers, an introduction to analytical geometry, functions, limits and continuity, derivatives and applications, the differential and anti-differentiation, and calculus of trigonometric, exponential and logarithmic functions.

The course in the mathematics of finance has increased in importance in the accounting, business and economics fields because of the variability and high level of interest rates. The course begins with a revision of fundamental ideas in algebra which will supplement the course work. The students explore concepts in simple interest, simple discount, compound interest, and compound discount. This establishes the foundation for the major section of this course - annuities (simple and general), amortization, sinking funds, capital budget management and depreciation. Click Here.
