stretches of these functions.

6. Define and graph the inverse trigonometric functions.

7. Apply trigonometric functions and identities to solve

applications and modeling problems.

8. Solve right and oblique triangles using the trigonometric

functions and the Laws of Sine and Cosine.

9. Represent complex numbers in, and perform operations using,

trigonometric form.

10. Use vectors to model applications in mathematics and science.

Methods of Evaluation/Basis of Grade.

Writing: Assessment tools that demonstrate writing skill and/or require students to select, organize and explain ideas in writing.		Writing 0 - 0%
None
This is a degree applicable course but assessment tools based on writing are not included because problem solving assessments are more appropriate for this course.

Problem solving: Assessment tools, other than exams, that demonstrate competence in computational or non-computational problem solving skills.		Problem Solving 5 - 20%
Homework problems
Skill Demonstrations: All skill-based and physical demonstrations used for assessment purposes including skill performance exams.		Skill Demonstrations 0 - 0%
None
Exams: All forms of formal testing, other than skill performance exams.		Exams 70 - 95%
Multiple choice, Free response exams, quizzes
Other: Includes any assessment tools that do not logically fit into the above categories.		Other Category 0 - 10%
Projects (e.g., computer projects or measurement activities)

Representative Textbooks and Materials:
Untitled document

Text(s) required of each student will be selected by the department,

a committee of the department, or the responsible instructor from the

books currently available. Choices in the past have included:

Trigonometry Enhanced With Graphing Utilities (4th). Sullivan, Michael

and Sullivan III, Michael. Prentice Hall: 2006.
