has a many aspects of writing involved. Senior English is
progressively organized so that each quarter builds upon
the others. It is based on these components: Examine and read different
modes of discourse (description, narration, comparison)
and rhetorical strategies (ethos, logos, pathos) Analyze different methods,
styles and genres including the effectiveness of
arguments Apply
these methods by writing narratives, short stories and a
research paper Senior
English has a many aspects of writing involved.
The student will be required to write analytically and
creatively. They write based on research and their
own experiences following the examples of some great
writers like Maya Angelou and Martin Luther King.

Advanced Mathematics

Advanced
Mathematics - Advanced Mathematics is made
up of five instructional components: Introduction of the New
Increment, Examples with complete Solutions, Practice of the
Increment, Daily Problem Set, and Cumulative Tests. In
Advanced Mathematics, topics from algebra, geometry,
trigonometry, discrete mathematics, and mathematical
analysis are interwoven to form a fully integrated text. A
rigorous treatment of Euclidean geometry is also presented.
Word problems are developed throughout the problem sets and
become progressively more elaborate. With this practice,
students will be able to solve challenging problems such as
rate problems and work problems involving abstract
quantities. The graphing calculator is used to graph
functions and perform data analysis. Conceptually-oriented
problems that prepare students for college entrance exams
(such as the ACT and SAT) are included in the problem sets.
Advanced Mathematics includes such topics as:
* permutations and combinations
* trigonometric identities
* inverse trigonometric functions
* conic sections
* graphs of sinusoids
* rectangular and polar representation of
complex numbers
* De Moivre's theorem
* matrices and determinants
* the binomial theorem
* the rational roots theorem |
Physics
|
Physics - This text is for students of introductory
physics, this text offers an overview of the discipline
which focuses on concepts and critical thinking rather
than number crunching. It presents physics in a
straightforward language, using analogies and mental
imagery based on real life situations. Mathematical
formulae and calculations appear as a footnote on the page
as a reference aid, and to help students see the
connections between maths and science. |
Calculus
|
Calculus -Calculus
is
made up of four instructional components: Introduction of
the New
Increment,
Examples With Complete Solutions, Daily Problem Set, and
Cumulative
Tests.
Calculus covers all topics in the Advanced Placement
Calculus AB and
Calculus
BC syllabi. The instruction takes full advantage of
graphing
calculators,
using them for visual demonstrations of concepts and
confirming
calculations.
Calculus includes such topics as:
review of functions, review of trigonometry, limits,
graphing calculators, derivatives, integrals, optimization
problems,
techniques of integration, polar functions, area between two
curves,
inverse functions, motion analysis, applications of
integrals, and
solids of revolution. |
