The sequence of study in Mathematics is contained in the Course of Studies Catalog on page 19. In addition, a summary for each of the courses offered may be found on pages 20, 21 & 22 in the Course of Studies Catalog. This information may be accessed at the following link:
in the three year sequence required for high
school graduation. This course will assist students in
developing the skills and processes needed to successfully
solve problems in a variety of settings. In the
course, students will study such topics as linear equations
with one variable, quadratic, absolute value and
exponential functions, and coordinate geometry and
systems of equations. Right triangle trigonometry,
elementary probability theory, data analysis including
measures of central tendency and visual representations
of data will be studied, an understanding of correlation
and causation will be developed, and reasonable lines
of best fit will be used to make predictions. At the end
of the course students will sit for the Integrated Algebra
Regents exam.

36000 Mathematical Models as Tools for Analysis
(Prerequisite: 2 credits of high school math) This course
is designed to help students explore various topics in
mathematics. In this course, students will gain
knowledge and experience on how to manage adult finances,
for this course.
34111 College Pre-Calculus
(Prerequisite: Algebra 2 & Trigonometry) This is an
enriched course which prepares the mathematically
talented student for the study of calculus. Linear,
exponential, logarithmic, polynomial, rational and
trigonometric functions will be considered, with an
emphasis on problem-solving applications. The meaning
and importance of limits and derivatives of
functions are studied as well. Upon payment of the
college’s tuition charges, students in this course will
be simultaneously enrolled at
satisfactory completion of the course, they will earn
three credits in mathematics. A graphing calculator
will be required but not provided for this course.
(1.10) 1 credit
34201 Calculus Honors
(Prerequisite: Pre-Calculus) This advanced-level course is
designed to introduce students to calculus. It is divided into
two sections, the first of which emphasizes differential
calculus while the second deals with integral calculus.
Students who complete this course will not, in general, be
prepared to sit for the Advanced Placement examination. A
graphing calculator will be required but not provided for
this course.
(1.05) 1 credit
34202 Advanced Placement
(Prerequisite: Pre-Calculus or teacher recommendation)
This course is designed for students with high mathematical
ability. It is divided into two parts. The first section
emphasizes differential calculus, while the second deals
with integral calculus. A graphing calculator will be
required but not provided for this course. Students are
expected to register for and take the AP exam in May.
The possibility of gaining college credit and/or advanced
standing in college is based upon students’ performance
on the AP exam. Advanced Placement course
credit/weight is awarded only to those students enrolled
in the program for the entire year.

34203 Advanced Placement
(Prerequisite: Pre-Calculus Honors and teacher recommendation)
This course is designed for students with
high mathematical ability. It is divided into two parts.
The first part emphasizes differential calculus, while the
second part emphasizes integral calculus. This course
follows the same curriculum as
additional topics. A graphing calculator will be required
but not provided for this course. Students are expected to
register for and take the AP exam in May. The
possibility of gaining college credit and/or advanced
standing in college is based upon students’ performance
on the AP exam. Advanced Placement course
credit/weight is awarded only to those students enrolled
in the program for the entire year.

34330 Statistics
(Prerequisite: Algebra 2 & Trigonometry) A working
knowledge of statistics is an essential tool in the continuing
study and practical life of any informed person. It
offers a useful tool in learning about the world in which
we live. This one-semester course will build on the
introductory work done in the previous years. It will
offer students the opportunity to study various
statistical measures and to explore their applications in
such fields as the physical and social sciences, business
and economics.
(1.00) 0.5 credit
34310 College Algebra
(Prerequisite: Algebra 2 & Trigonometry) This course
is intended for college-bound seniors who do not study
Pre-Calculus. It is designed to help sharpen their
algebraic and analytical skills to prepare them for
college placement exams and the study of mathematics
required by colleges. The course will make extensive
use of mathematical tools to facilitate exploration,
enhance understanding, and allow for the use of real
world applications. A problem-solving approach will
infuse the course. Topics will include extended investigation
of equations, real and complex numbers,
relations, functions and their graphs, trigonometry and
