The AP Calculus AB course covers a full high school academic year of work that is comparable to the first semester of college calculus. This course makes extensive use of pre-requisite math skills, including algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and pre-calculus. Course content includes limits and continuity, derivatives, min-max problems, related rates, rectilinear motion, integrals, Riemann sums, differential equations, volumes of rotation, and the calculus of transcendental functions. This course includes a rigorous review for the AP Calculus AB examination.
Note: A student who fails the 1st Semester of the course will NOT be permitted to continue in the course 2nd Semester.
Special Note: A TI-84+ graphing calculator is required.
