Exploring Precalculus

The Sketchpad activities in this collection give students the opportunity to directly experience, through dynamic visualization and manipulation, the topics covered in precalculus. Students:

• transform functions dynamically
• view and modify entire families of functions—polynomial, exponential, logistic, and more
• build parametric functions, and manipulate vectors and matrices
• discover the relationship between rectangular and polar coordinates
• make complex numbers come alive on the coordinate plane
• finish with a dynamic, visual introduction to the main concepts of calculus
