What is pre-calculus?
Pre-calculus is the course that pulls together everything from Algebra 2, geometry, and trigonometry and shapes it into the toolkit you need for calculus. Topics include polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic, and trig functions; transformations; an introduction to limits; sequences and series; conic sections; and vectors.
Why pre-calc preparation matters for AP Calc
The single biggest predictor of an AP Calc grade is pre-calc fluency. Students who arrive at AP Calc with shaky algebra or rusty trig spend most of the year fighting the prerequisites instead of learning calculus. A few hours a week of focused pre-calc tutoring in the spring or summer before AP Calc is the highest-leverage strategic move a junior can make.
The natural next step is calculus; if your student needs the trig component specifically, see trigonometry.
