Overview

Welcome to PreCalculus!

In this course, we will prepare you for the rigors of the CCNY Calculus sequence. Specifically, you will work with a standard library of single-variable functions to understand their algebraic and geometric properties. These functions will form the foundations of a mathematical toolbox you will rely on throughout any future mathematics course.
