Algebra I is required for graduation.

Honors Geometry (7073AB)

Extends and builds on the foundation for the Advanced Placement program. Includes all of the regular geometry course with extensions, both independent and guided, from advanced topics. Instruction focuses on the use of higher levels of understanding, such as relationships of ideas, analysis of investigations, and predictions of results. Geometry is required for graduation.

Honors Algebra 2 (7057AB)

Extends and builds on the foundation for the Advanced Placement program. Includes the entire regular Algebra II course with extensions, both independent and guided, in the areas of probability, trigonometry functions, triangle problems, and arithmetic sequences and series with emphasis on real-world situations.

OnRamps Algebra 2 (7050AB)

In this course, students deepen their critical thinking skills and develop their ability to persist through challenges as they explore function families: Linear, Absolute Value, Quadratic, Polynomial, Radical, Rational, Exponential, and Logarithmic. Students analyze data algebraically and with technology while developing their knowledge of properties of functions, matrices and systems of equations, and complex numbers. OnRamps works through a dual enrollment model. Using a hybrid delivery approach, students meet rigorous university-level college readiness standards and have the opportunity to earn UT Austin credit from a UT faculty member and high school credit from their local teacher.

Honors Pre-Calculus (7123AB)

Precalculus deepens students’ mathematical understanding and fluency with algebra and trigonometry and extends their ability to make connections and apply concepts and procedures at high levels in both mathematical and real-world situations. This course provides the necessary foundation for advanced placement or college calculus.

OnRamps Pre-Calculus (7119AB)

Students will deepen and extend their knowledge of functions, graphs and equations from their high school Algebra and Geometry courses so they can successfully work on concepts in a rigorous university-level calculus course. An emphasis on unpacking mathematical definitions and making logical arguments will empower students to develop their problem-solving skills and create connections to prior concepts. OnRamps works through a dual enrollment model. Using a hybrid delivery approach, students meet rigorous university-level college readiness standards and have the opportunity to earn UT Austin credit from a UT faculty member and high school credit from their local teacher.

AP Calculus AB (7124AB)

AP Calculus AB is an introductory college-level calculus course. Students cultivate their understanding of differential and integral calculus through engaging with real-world problems represented graphically, numerically, analytically, and verbally and using definitions and theorems to build arguments and justify conclusions as they explore concepts like change, limits, and the analysis of functions.

AP Calculus BC (7126AB)

AP Calculus BC is an introductory college-level calculus course. Students cultivate their understanding of differential and integral calculus through engaging with real-world problems represented graphically, numerically, analytically, and verbally and using definitions and theorems to build arguments and justify conclusions as they explore concepts like change, limits, and the analysis of functions.

OnRamps Statistics (7146AB)

This course develops quantitative reasoning skills and habits of mind. It will target conceptual understandings and hone highly relevant mathematical skills through scaffolded introduction to statistical methodologies, informal game play, and strategic lab exercise that engage students in hands-on analysis of real data. Valuable programming and coding skills will be acquired as a means for conducting these analyses. OnRamps works through a dual enrollment model. Using a hybrid delivery approach, students meet rigorous university-level college readiness standards and have the opportunity to earn UT Austin credit from a UT faculty member and high school credit from their local teacher.

Independent Study in Math: Honors Multivariable Calculus & Its Applications (7128AB)

This third course of calculus will use all of the skills and concepts learned in the previous two courses to analyze and explore problems requiring multi-variables. Essential for students planning to study advanced physical sciences and/or mathematics in college.

Independent Study in Math: Honors Ordinary Differential Equations and Their Applications (7129AB)

Provides instruction in the concepts and skills associated with differential equations including solving first-order differential equations, linear differential equations, higher- order linear differential equations, first-order systems, homogeneous and non-homogeneous systems, and real-world problems as found in physical science.

Independent Study in Math: Honors Mathematical Modeling Using Computer Simulation (7130AB)

This one- or two-semester course is designed for students to use an interdisciplinary approach to modeling physical events in the real world. For example, pilots are trained on computer simulators, new medicinal drugs are designed with the aid of computer models, economic projections and weather forecasting are based upon mathematical formats that are solved through intensive computer programming. This course will use skills and concepts learned in various mathematics courses (algebra-calculus, economics, physics, biology, anatomy, and physiology, and computer science).

Independent Study in Math: Calculus-Based Statistics (7235AB)

Provides a study of permutations, combinations, binomial theorems, equally likely outcomes, random variables, joint and continuous distributions, the binomial distribution, and inferential statistics.

Independent Study in Math: Honors Linear Algebra (7277AB)

Presents matrices and vectors, transformations and matrices, representatives of linear transformations, and some elementary analytic geometry from a vector standpoint.

Independent Study in Math: Honors Electrical Circuit Theory (7278AB)

The Electrical Circuit Theory course will supplement the basic knowledge of the function of electrical circuits provided by an introductory physics course. This course is modeled after the initial analog circuits course in a university electrical engineering program. Students will engage in theoretical analysis of circuit response via mathematical methods and computer simulation as well as hands-on design, construction, and testing of electrical circuits in a laboratory environment.

Independent Study in Math: Astrophysics (7257AB)

The Astrophysics course will cover the same curricular topics found in the Honors Astronomy course. However, the topics will be explored in greater depth using the advanced mathematics and physics skills including calculus, differential equations, spectrum analysis, and quantum physics. The course will emphasize application and critical thinking for problem solving.
