Pre-Calculus: Data Analysis and Project Study
MATH 1730
The University of Memphis invites industry partners to collaborate with our Pre-Calculus students to bridge theoretical knowledge with practical applications. Our students, who are revisiting high school algebra, trigonometry, and analytic geometry in a fast-paced, intensive course, are equipped to tackle complex mathematical problems as they prepare for college-level calculus. Through this collaboration, students aim to strengthen their skills in algebraic notation, solving equations, graphing functions, and applying trigonometric identities. Employers engaging in this experience must maintain regular communication with the students, provide necessary information and guidance, be virtually present during the final presentation, and offer constructive and professional feedback through the Riipen platform.
