Welcome Calculus students and parents. This course provides students with an introduction to the fundamental concepts of differential and integral calculus. Topics include limits, derivatives, applications of derivatives, integrals, and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. Students will develop problem-solving and analytical skills while applying calculus concepts to real-world situations all while preparing themselves for the AP exam.
