Mathematics

Hello, I am Darren Warth and I  have been teaching at Kimberly High School since 1996. I currently teach Calculus, PreCalculus ,College Algebra  and Math in Modern Society. I am married to my wonderful wife Becky and we have 7 children and 9 grandchildren.  

I have a Master's Degree in Educational Administration through Idaho State University and a  Bachelor's of Science degree through Idaho State University in Secondary Education with a Major in Math and a Minor in Spanish.

Courses: 

 

Calculus

Calculus is a general education course, which fulfills the math requirement for some majors. General education in Mathematics develops the understanding of mathematics as a language which permits the student to express, define, and answer questions about the world.

This is the first course in the calculus sequence. It covers algebraic and transcendental functions, rate of change, limits, continuity, differentiation of algebraic, trig, exponential, logarithmic, and hyperbolic functions, differentials, applications of differentiation, definite and indefinite integrals, area between curves, volumes and other applications of integration, indeterminate forms, and L'Hopital's Rule.


Prerequisite: MATH 147 (PreCalculus) or its equivalent with a grade of 'C' or better; or COMPASS Trigonometry score of at least 52, or ALEKS PPL CRORE of at least 76, or ACT math score of at least 29, or SAT math score of at least 650 or permission of the instructor.

College Algebra

College Algebra is a general education course, which fulfills the math requirements for some majors and prepares the student to take Trigonometry. General education in Mathematics develops the understanding of mathematics as a language which permits the student to express, define and answer questions about the world.

This course includes fundamental concepts of Algebra; equations and inequalities; functions and graphs; polynomial, rational, exponential and logarithmic functions; systems of equations and inequalities; the Binomial theorem. This course is offered as a dual credit course for both high school and college credits. 

Prerequisite: Math 043 (Algebra II in high school) with a grade of ‘C’ or better, or CSI placement test score, or permission of the instructor.

Math in Modern Society

Math 123, Math in Modern Society, is the capstone course in mathematics for those choosing not to continue their formal study of mathematics. This course is specifically geared toward helping diverse students with different career objectives. Successful completion of Math 123 will provide students with solid conceptual understanding and problem solving abilities necessary for practical application of the mathematics found in everyday life. This survey course provides an opportunity to acquire an appreciation of the nature of mathematics and its relation to other aspects of our culture. The course is rigorous but not rigid and applies mathematics to real-world problems.


Prerequisite: MATH 023 with a grade of “C” or better or Math Placement Test

PreCalculus

Precalculus is a general education course, which fulfills the math requirement for some majors or prepares the student to take Math for Elementary Teachers 1 (Math 157), Brief Calculus (Math 160) or Calculus 1 (Math 170). General education in Mathematics develops the understanding of mathematics as a language which permits the student to express, define, and answer questions about the world.

This is a single course equivalent to College Algebra (Math 143) plus Trigonometry (Math 144). Prerequisite: Algebra for College Readiness (Math 043) (Algebra II in high school) with a grade of ‘C’ or better, or CSI placement criteria or permission of the instructor.
