The AP Calculus BC course is a full-year course in the calculus of functions of a single variable. The course covers all topics required in AP Calculus AB, with additional (Calculus C) topics, including integration by parts, integration by partial fractions, MacLaurin and Taylor series, and calculus applied to parametric and polar equations. This course begins by reviewing pre-calculus (Calculus A) topics at a quick pace, assuming coverage in a previous math course. The course makes extensive use of pre-requisite math skills, including algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and pre-calculus. Students who take this course should do so with the intention of placing out of a comparable college calculus course. The AP Calculus BC course is designed to cover two semesters of college calculus. This course includes a rigorous review for the AP Calculus BC 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.
