Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
Calculate the exact (when possible) or approximate value of the 6 trigonometric functions using both radian and degree measure. Solve for all of the side lengths and angles of a right or oblique triangle, using information given. Graph trigonometric functions (emphasizing sine, cosine and tangent), and conic sections, transform their graphs, and state important features of their graphs. Verify trigonometric identities and use them to solve trigonometric equations involving one or more trigonometric functions. Perform calculations involving vectors and solve vector applications.
