AP Calculus BC Course # 03055 This advanced course is designed to explore the calculus of functions of a single variable. The course parallels the first year of a college level calculus course. Topics that will be covered include: all topics covered in Calculus AB, plus the rigorous definitions of limits, sequences and series, parametrically defined curves, polar curves, and other advanced techniques of integration. The content of Calculus BC is designed to qualify the student for placement and credit in a course that is one course beyond that granted for Calculus AB. This class will prepare students to take the AP Calculus BC test near the end of the school year, giving them the opportunity to earn college credit. Students are strongly encouraged to take the AP exam. A graphing calculator is recommended. This course uses a "5-point A" grading system recognized by the CSU and UC system.
