There are 7 possible mathematics course taught in most high school. Each one has its
own curriculum and responsible topics.
Beginning Algebra: This course covers topics such as understanding and manipulating
algebraic expressions including polynomials, radical expressions, rational expressions,
linear and second-degree equations, understanding inequalities and systems of equations.
Intermediate Algebra: This course reviews the topics of linear equations and inequalities,
absolute value, quadratic inequalities, roots and exponents, and systems of equations.
Other topics include exponential and logarithmic functions, conic sections, and arithmetic
and geometric sequences.
Geometry: Topics include logic, congruence of polygons, inequalities, similarity,
properties of circles, area of plane figures, surface area and volume of solids, basic
trigonometry, coordinate geometry, and transformational geometry.
Pre-Calculus & Trigonometry: Topics include the algebra of exponential and logarithmic
functions, techniques of graphing and matrices, mathematical induction, sequences and
series, and analytic geometry. Approximately one third of the course focuses on
trigonometry and its applications.
AP Calculus AB: Topics in this course are functions and graphs, limits, continuity,
derivatives and differentiability, applications of the derivative, curve sketching, related
rates, implicit differentiation, parametric equations, Riemann sums, indefinite and
definite integrals, techniques of integration, applications of integration, the Fundamental
Theorem of Calculus, and numerical approximations to definite integrals.
AP Calculus BC: Topics: for this course are functions and graphs, limits, continuity,
derivatives and differentiability, applications of the derivative, curve sketching, related
rates, implicit differentiation, parametric equations, polar functions, vector functions,
lHospitals rule, Riemann sums, indefinite and definite integrals, techniques of
integration, applications of integration, the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, numerical
approximations to definite integrals, improper integrals, differential equations,
polynomial approximations, Taylor series, and convergence and divergence of infinite
sequences and series.
AP Statistics: In this course, students will investigate basic methods and concepts in
statistics, covering the following broad themes: exploring data, sampling and
experimentation, anticipating patterns, statistical inference.

In this source, I learned of all the different levels of mathematics and the concepts covered in
each, which is necessary for a tutoring in those field to know.
