This course introduces the mathematical concept of the function by extending students’ experiences with linear and quadratic relations. Students will investigate properties of discrete and continuous functions, including trigonometric and exponential functions; represent functions numerically, algebraically, and graphically; solve problems involving applications of functions; investigate inverse functions; and develop facility in determining equivalent algebraic expressions. Students will reason mathematically and communicate their thinking as they solve multi-step problems.

Prerequisite: Principles of Mathematics, Grade 10, Academic

This course will prepare students for MHF4U and MDM4U and as such will be a very demanding and challenging course.  A high level of math ability, especially in the areas of application and abstract thinking, is essential. Good time management and a consistent effort will also be crucial for success.
