Mathcast: Precalculus app for iPhone and iPad

Welcome to Pre-Calculus. This course is an extension of the work you did in College Algebra and Trigonometry. A solid foundation in these courses sets you up for Pre-Calculus. The new material in this course includes Conic Sections, Polar representation of Conic Sections, Sequences, Summation notation, Factorial notation and an Introduction to Limits.

These video tutorials are presented by Roderick V. James PhD. EE, Adjunct Professor at Houston Community College. Dr. James has been involved with education for the past ten years. His past teaching experience at the Keller Graduate School of Management of DeVry University included the duties of Curriculum Manager for Project Management.

Currently, Dr. James teaches a range of math courses including Fundamentals of Mathematics I & II, College Algebra, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, Calculus and Finite Mathematics. “These video tutorial courses provide a way for students to compliment their classroom experience.” said Dr. James. He continues, “The videos also provide the busy professional with a quick reference to a particular topic.” Dr, James also stresses that this video is not a substitute for attending class, but a compliment to the classroom experience. As in all aspects of life “Practice Makes Perfect”.

In math Practice means working problems! During this comprehensive tutorial session, Pre-Calculus students will be presented with all the knowledge, tools and techniques necessary to make an “A” in the course.
