MATH 144 Precalculus II: Trigonometry
This course covers right triangle and circular function approaches to trigonometry, graphs of trig functions, trig identities, conditional equations, right and non-right triangle applications of trigonometry, inverse trig functions, trigonometry of complex numbers including DeMoivre's Theorem, polar coordinates and equations, parametric equations. Students desiring both college algebra and trigonometry should take
MATH 147. Credit hours are not granted in both
MATH 144 and
MATH 147.
