WELCOME TO MTH 113 - Precalculus Trigonometry 

COURSE OBJECTIVES: Upon successfully completing Pre-Calculus Trigonometry, MTH 113, the student should be able to:

1.      Graph an angle in standard position; evaluate the six trigonometric functions and their co-functions for a given angle.

2.      Convert between radian and degree measure.

3.      Recall the six basic trigonometric functions and their co-functions for the common angles.

4.      Solve right triangles.

5.      Solve triangles using the Law of Cosines and the Law of Sines.

 6.      Recall the fundamental trigonometric identities and apply these to prove other identities or to solve trigonometric equations.

7.      Evaluate and graph the six basic trigonometric functions and their inverses.

8.      Write the trigonometric form of a complex number; represent complex numbers graphically; perform operations with these complex numbers (including multiply, divide, and find roots); apply DeMoivre’s Theorem.

 9.      Use polar coordinates and graph polar equations.

 10.  Perform the basic operations on vectors in a plane; find the dot product

of two vectors; use vectors to solve related applications.
