Programming in PreCalculus

Plotting Points and Relations
Two Points Assignment
Learn to plot points in 3d using vpython (see Glowscript.org)
Linear Relations
Determine if a Relation is Linear
Graphically and programatically determine if a relation between x and y is linear.
Functions
Learn to write mathematical functions.
Program mathematical functions, combine them (add, subtract, chain), and pass them to other functions.
Functions (for two points)
Functions for working with two points.
Write and use functions to calculate stuff you can find if given two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2). For example, midpoints, slope of the line between the points, distance between the points.
Functions for Geometric Shapes of 3D Solids
Finding surface areas and volumes
Practice writing functions.
Logical Statements
Logic
Using logical statements in programming: If ... Then ... Else
Classes (Straight Lines)
Creating a Class for Handling Straight Lines
Organizing functions and variables that are related into objects called classes.
Classes (Quadratic Functions)
Creating a Class for Quadratic Functions
Organizing functions and variables into objects called classes.
Use your quadratic class to solve these problems.
Trigonometry
