AP Calculus AB

This full-year course is equivalent to one semester of college calculus. Topics of study include limits and continuity, rates of change, derivatives, relationships between functions and their derivatives, definite and indefinite integrals, the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, volumes of solids, and differential equations. Each topic is examined both abstractly and with numerous practical applications.  All topics are approached rigorously through graphical, numerical, and algebraic representations. Students may receive undergraduate college credit for one semester of calculus through high performance on the Advanced Placement Calculus AB exam.  A graphing calculator is required (TI preferred).
