343320 Algebraic Modeling for Data Analytics (Seaholm)
Algebraic Modeling for Data Analytics teaches students how to use sophisticated mathematics to make complicated
decisions. Algebraic models will be created to solve meaningful problems facing individuals, businesses, and
governments. Multi-criteria decision making will be used to make decisions with competing objectives. For singleobjective scenarios, students will formulate decisions as mathematical programming problems. Fidelity of the models,
sensitivity of solutions, and interpretation of results will be thoroughly investigated. Extensive use of spreadsheets and
other software will be made to find and analyze optimal solutions to these problems.
Prerequisites: Integrated Math 3
Grades Taught: 11, 12
Credit: .25

343420 Probabilistic Modeling for Data Analytics (Seaholm)
Probabilistic Modeling for Data Analytics teaches students how to use sophisticated mathematics to make complicated
decisions. Probabilistic models are created to solve meaningful problems facing individuals, businesses, and governments.
Students will learn to understand randomness in order to make better decisions in the face of uncertainty. Basic
probability, conditional probability, and several distributions of random variables will be used to model real-world
problems in an effort to make bet-ter decisions. Graphing calculators and spreadsheet software will be used extensively to
work through problems.

343121/343122 AP Calculus BC
AP Calculus BC is the study of functions, including vector and polar functions, derivatives and integrals, infinite sequences
and series. Formal proofs of major theorems are presented. Problems are explored from multiple viewpoints, including
algebraic, numerical, and graphing. Graphing calculators are used extensively. Problem-solving is developed throughout
the course, with practical applications from many disciplines included. This course prepares students to take the
Advanced Placement Calculus BC examination. Students that wish to continue to take Calculus 3 and Differential
Equations in high school should take AP Calculus BC
