AP Calculus BC is equivalent to one year of calculus at most universities. This course covers all topics learned in AP Calculus AB (techniques and applications of the derivative, the definite integral, and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus) and others such as parametric, polar, and vector functions, and series. AP Calculus BC is an advanced course and it is expected that you put a great amount of effort in learning both inside and outside of class to succeed. We will support a solution using graphical, numerical, analytical, algebraic, and both verbal and written responses.
More information can be found on the College Board's website.
