Text

Written by David Lippman and Melanie Rasmussen. The focus of this course is on the story of functions. The course begins with function notation, a basic toolkit of functions, and the basic operation with functions: composition and transformation. Each family of functions is introduced with it’s important features: graph, domain and range, intercepts, and asymptotes.  The exploration then moves to evaluating and solving equations involving the function, finding inverses, and culminates with modeling using the function.
The “rule of four” is integrated throughout – looking at the functions verbally, graphically, numerically, as well as algebraically.
