AP Calculus AB
Course Description
Course Description
AP Calculus AB course is designed to meet the Advanced Placement curricular requirements to Calculus AB (equivalent to a one term college course). The major topics covered in this course are limits, derivatives, integrals, and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. These concepts will be developed using reasoning with definitions and theorems, algebraic and computational processes, and the use of graphing calculators when appropriate. Students in this class will be asked to demonstrate competency verbally, through writing, with notational fluency, and be required to connect concepts graphically, numerically, analytically, with tabular data, and through written words.
