Course Considerations
Second-year high school Algebra needed; exposure to variable calculus helpful but not absolutely required. Students need to be able to understand order of operations in expressions and formulas, convert between fractions, decimals, and percents, calculate powers and the square root of a number (using technology).
Pre-college students enrolled in AP Statistics would cover the same material in this course.
