Geometry teaches the properties and relationships of points, lines, and planes for both two and three-dimensional figures and their applications to area, volume, and proportion. It includes an introduction to analytic geometry, a study of the structure of logic and deductive, inductive and intuitive reasoning, and the development of proof and construction. Understanding the relationship between geometry and algebra, and how geometry assists algebra in developing solutions to problems are expected outcomes as well.

Pre-Calculus is a course designed to prepare students for calculus. The course will begin with an extensive study of trigonometry. Students will be introduced to trigonometric identities, graphing, and solving equations. The course will continue with a study of vectors, polar coordinates, and analytic trigonometry. In addition, the following topics will be covered: functions; analytic geometry; arithmetic and geometric sequences and series; polynomial equations; and a review of calculus. The review of calculus will introduce students to the limit, derivative, and integral of a function.
