AP Calculus BC

Equivalent to the first year of college mathematics, successful completion of this course may result in the awarding of college credit. In addition to the Calculus AB curriculum above, students will study integral applications, improper integrals, infinite series, polar functions, conic sections in polar coordinates, the calculus of polar curves, and vectors in two and three dimensions. Reading and analyzing data from a given table and connecting a function to its derivative will also be emphasized. Throughout the course, students are encouraged to incorporate multiple approaches to solve the problems. Additionally, students are required to explain their work verbally and in writing.

The course follows the topics outlined in the AP Calculus Course Description as it appears the AP Central® (apcentral@collegeboard.com) and students are required to take the Advanced Placement BC Calculus exam in May.

Most of the class materials will be posted in the Google Classroom. Please see Ms. Lim for the class code to join.
