MATH 217 — Calculus with Algebra & Trigonometry II

A continuation pathway integrating algebra, trigonometry, precalculus and elementary differential calculus; completion is described by UW–Madison as satisfying the MATH 221/114 sequence requirements.

Course overview

A continuation pathway integrating algebra, trigonometry, precalculus and elementary differential calculus; completion is described by UW–Madison as satisfying the MATH 221/114 sequence requirements.

Math Aficionado uses this structure as a tutoring roadmap: lessons can be paced around the student's current level, school sequence, assignments, and assessment goals rather than forcing every student through the same timetable.
