Preparation for Success in Mathematics at Stanford

This course will build on and enrich students' fundamental prerequisite skills in foundational mathematics to prepare students for success in Calculus and further mathematics courses at Stanford University. This course is intended for students that will enroll in the Math 19-20-21 sequence, but will broadly be relevant and engaging for success in university-level mathematics courses at Stanford, as well as in other courses at Stanford in other disciplines that rely on these courses as prerequisites. Students will enhance their proficiency with precalculus mathematics, with an emphasis on higher level conceptual understanding and problem-solving. The primary of this course is to help students develop and hone the mathematical skills necessary to successfully transition to university level mathematics at Stanford University. The course will focus on fundamental concepts from algebra, functions and graphs, trigonometry, exponentials and logarithms, and limits.
