Prerequisite(s): MATH 141 or direct placement by way of the University-approved Mathematics Placement Test or by permission of the Department of Mathematics. This course is the second in a two-semester sequence, MATH 141 Precalculus I and MATH 142 Precalculus II. It is designed for students whose major requires a Calculus course. MATH 142 continues the students’ preparation for Calculus by exploring trigonometry, including fundamental definitions and identities, functions of sums and differences of angles, sine and cosine laws, inverse trigonometric functions, trigonometric equations, graphs of trigonometric functions and their inverses. Additional topics include the binomial theorem and sequences and series.
