Precalculus
REQUIRED BUNDLE COURSE
Have you ever realized that math is all around us—in the form of fractions, division, decimals, algebra, and more? In Precalculus, you’ll become comfortable with these math basics and learn how they can help you every day, including maneuvering many of the challenges life may throw at you.
You probably know that math will help you manage a budget at work or at home, and help you tip a server at your favorite restaurant. But did you know that NASA uses math to get astronauts into space? Math is also required for video games, heart rate monitors, gourmet recipes, and construction projects.
This course also prepares you for higher-level math courses, which build on the basics you’ll learn here. And, as you learn more, your belief in your own math abilities will increase.
Along the way, you may have moments when everything makes sense, and other times when it feels confusing and overwhelming. When that happens, simply ask for help. Your instructor and the rest of the WGU Academy team are here to support you every step of the way.
