[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]AP Precalculus is unique from all other APs because Precalculus is not a college-level class. Michele Breen, Math Department Head, says, “Typically, AP classes are for college credit. Precalculus is a senior-level course so it is a new thing for the College Board to offer a non college-level class as an AP”. The College Board says the goal of the new AP Precalculus course is to prepare a much broader group of students to thrive in college math courses by giving them an opportunity to take a class at the college-level intensity in high school, regardless of where they start in high school math.[/quote] College algebra is basically the same thing as precalculus, and it is offered at the vast majority of colleges. Most colleges have 10 sections of college Algebra for every section of Linear Algebra or Multivariable Calc. This matches the math many people actually take as first year college students.[/quote]
