AP Calculus AB

This course consists of a full academic semester of work in calculus and related topics that are comparable to a first-semester university-level course. The class is for those students who intend to place out of a comparable college calculus course by successfully passing the AP Examination, a college placement exam, or any other method employed by the student’s college. This is an intensive study of topics in differential and integral calculus, with a small review of prerequisite math topics which include, but are not limited to, advanced algebra techniques and trigonometry. Calculus students will have many opportunities to acquire fundamental skills in using graphing calculators. Mathematically talented students who have received a B or better in Honors Functions, Statistics, and Trigonometry are encouraged to enroll. Students are encouraged to purchase their own graphing calculator.
