Calculus is designed to give students an overview of Calculus topics such as limits and continuity, derivatives, and antiderivatives, integrals and differential equations. While this course covers many of the same concepts found in Advanced Placement Calculus, it is not bound by the pace and rigor necessary for success on the AP Calculus exam. Therefore, this course best suits the student who is mathematically ready to learn Calculus but does not want the “stress” of AP Calculus.
