你将学到什么
Solve problems using properties of the basic transcendental functions: exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric
Calculate expressions involving transcendental functions
Solve equalities and inequalities in terms of transcendental functions
Calculate areas and volumes of basic geometric plane figures and spatial solids
Apply elements of mathematical reasoning and proofs
Compare exponentials and logarithms

课程概况
This course is the second of two precalculus courses from the University of Padova, providing you with the advanced mathematical skills required to complete a first course in calculus.
You’ll get to grips with more challenging precalculus topics: plane and solid geometry; logarithms and exponentials; equalities and inequalities; and trigonometric functions and identities.
By the end of this course you’ll have gained the skills to support further mathematical studies.
课程大纲
Plane and solid geometry
Logarithms and exponentials
Trigonometric functions and identities
