About Reasoning with Functions 2
Students who have completed Reasoning with Functions 1 go on to use their knowledge of functions and covariational reasoning in Reasoning with Functions 2. RF2 is recommended as a 4-credit course, to allow time for students to model and solve problems involving algebraic and transcendental functions, and develop the algebraic tools necessary to model and solve problems using dynamic geometry and trigonometric functions and their properties.
As a component of the Dana Center Mathematics Pathways (DCMP) curricular offerings, the Pathway to Calculus serves intermediate-algebra-ready students who plan to pursue degrees in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics and who plan to take one or more of the traditional Calculus courses.
Key Concepts of this Course
- Algebraic Functions
- Transcendental Functions

This pathway consists of two college-level courses, Reasoning with Functions 1 (RF1) and Reasoning with Functions 2 (RF2). It is designed to help students develop a strong conceptual understanding of functions and their behavior using explicit covariational reasoning to investigate and explore quantities, their relationships, and how these relationships change.
