Analysis (also known as Analysis H) is a math class typically taken by juniors. Students typically take this after Trig H, although some also come up from Trig A, and a few come directly from Geometry H. Most Analysis H students go to AP Calculus BC after this, although some instead go to AP Calculus AB or simply be done with their math credit.
Course catalog description
In addition to the objectives of IAC course, students study Group Theory, Algebraic Problem Solving, quadric surfaces, and more applications of matrices, such as transformations and Markov Chains. The course concludes with the “A” portion of calculus including limits, difference quotients, derivatives and an introduction to the indefinite integral. A graphing calculator is required.
- Prerequisites: Successful completion of Algebra 2 and a complete Trigonometry course; open to grades 10 and 11.
Students laning up from Alg2/TrigA will require summer work to be prepared.
- Students self-report spending an average of 3.5 hours a week outside of school on this course
- District SLOs Addressed in this Course: 1, 2, 5, 6
- This is an honors course
Units/Textbooks
Analysis H is notable for having many textbooks, each of which corresponds to a unit.
Redbook is a set of problems from random books.

Should I sign up for this class?
This class is rather difficult due to the challenging problems you are expected to solve and the speed at which the material is covered. Many people drop out of Analysis H because it is simply too difficult for them. Therefore, you should only take Analysis H if you are enthusiastic about math and are prepared to put in the time and effort to learn the material deeply. Generally, Analysis H is considered to be the hardest course in the Math Honors lane.
