Hello,

I'm a CPII Algebra II student that will be going into Honours Calculus next year. In order for me to do this, I must take precalculus over the summer vacation period. I have found a site called "Khan Academy" that has a precalculus course. I asked a teacher who would normally teach Honours Precalculus about what would be taught. She gave me an outline of the units:

Unit 1: General Functions (Functions in general, their properties, transformations and applications)
Unit 2: Quadratic Functions (Quadratic functions, building quadratic models from verbal descriptions and data)
Unit 3: Polynomial functions (Different types of polynomial functions and their graphs)
Unit 4: Rational Functions (Rational functions and asymptotes including some applications)
Unit 5: Trigonometric Functions (Trigonometric Functions, the unit circle, and graphs of trigonometric functions)
Unit 6: Analytical Trigonometry (Inverse trig functions, sum and difference double angle, half-angle formulas, trig equations and applications)
Unit 7: Polar Coordinates and Vectors (Polar Coordinates, vectors including DeMoivre's theorem)
Unit 8: Analytical Geometry (Conic sections and their applications)
Unit 9: Sequences (Sequences and series)
Unit 10: A preview of Calculus (Limit, derivative, and integral of a function)

The link to the precalculus course on Khan Academy is as follows:
http://www.khanacademy.org/math/precalculus

Does this look like a good course? Is it thorough enough? I will need to prove to my teachers that I understand the material that is taught on a test that demonstrates my knowledge on the subject before I can advance.

Thank you,
Harley

Hey Harley---
I've used khanacademy.org numerous times for refreshers on many topics.
The pre-calc portion is quite good and covers quite a lot of your topics..but I'd recommend supplementing it with brightstorm.com and their pre-calc portion. They are both good. Sal is smoother in his delivery but most of his videos are longer than brightstorm's.
