Abstract
This chapter reviews high school math with some help from Mathematica. Polynomials are functions of the form p = p[x] = a0 + α1x + … + anxn. This chapter presents the rule of exponents: addition of exponents, negative exponents, repeated exponents, and fractional exponents. One need to be proficient at the use of these rules to take advantage of the powerful symbolics in calculus. The chapter discusses basic trig functions. The notion of radian measure is one of the essential things to remember from high school. The reason radian measure is important in calculus is because it relates a distance measure of angle to the distance measure of sine and cosine that locates a point on the unit circle. The chapter presents the review of high school log and exponential identities and the review of high school trig identities.
