Course description

Take your precalculus knowledge to the next level
4 weeks

This course is the second of two precalculus courses from the University of Padova, providing you with the advanced mathematical skills required to complete a first course in calculus.
You’ll get to grips with more challenging precalculus topics: plane and solid geometry; logarithms and exponentials; equalities and inequalities; and trigonometric functions and identities.
By the end of this course you’ll have gained the skills to support further mathematical studies.

Plane and solid geometry
Logarithms and exponentials
Trigonometric functions and identities
Equalities and inequalities involving exponential and trigonometric functions

Solve problems using properties of the basic transcendental functions: exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric
Calculate expressions involving transcendental functions
Solve equalities and inequalities in terms of transcendental functions
Calculate areas and volumes of basic geometric plane figures and spatial solids
Apply elements of mathematical reasoning and proofs
Compare exponentials and logarithms
Model basic compound interest

This course is for anyone who wants to brush up on their basic mathematical skills, particularly students in the last year of high school, or at the beginning of undergraduate studies, who intend to take a first course in calculus.
Ideally, you’ll have already taken the first course – Precalculus: the Mathematics of Numbers, Functions and Equations or be familiar with the topics covered in it, and have a basic knowledge of high school mathematics.
