AP Calculus AB/DMACC Calculus I
DMACC Calculus I includes all topics listed in the DMACC Course Competencies. The objectives that students are asked to strive to meet are to use and build upon mathematical skills and concepts previously learned, to communicate mathematics with others, and to develop an appreciation for the power of mathematics. Mathematical concepts will be communicated by both instructor and students through geometric, numerical, algebraic, and descriptive means. Students will earn dual enrollment college credit with DMACC for this course, but may choose to take the AP exam in May as well.
By successfully completing this course, you will be able to:1. Work with functions represented in a variety of ways and understand the connections among these representations.2. Understand the meaning of the derivative in terms of a rate of change and local linear approximation, and use derivatives to solve a variety of problems.3. Understand the relationship between the derivative and the definite integral.4. Communicate mathematics both orally and in well-written sentences to explain solutions to problems.5. Model a written description of a physical situation with a function, a differential equation, or an integral.6. Use technology to help solve problems, experiment, interpret results, and verify conclusions.7. Determine the reasonableness of solutions, including sign, size, relative accuracy, and units of measurement.8. Develop an appreciation of calculus as a coherent body of knowledge and as a human accomplishment.
