COLLEGE PRE-CALCULUS 100 - 03404 - 1 CREDIT
Prerequisite: Credit in Algebra II
Credit: Math
Description: This course continues the integration of topics already studied while preparing students for the rigors of college calculus. Topics studied include matrices, trigonometry, polar, exponential, and logarithmic functions as well as sequences & series, conic sections, and limits. Graphing calculator applications will be integrated throughout the course. Students in this course will be eligible to participate in The University in the High School Program in conjunction with SUNY Albany. Students that successfully complete this course can obtain as many as 3 credits from SUNY Albany at a reduced tuition.
COLLEGE PRE-CALCULUS 101 - 03406 - 1 CREDIT
Prerequisite: Credit in Algebra II Honors with Teacher Recommendation
Credit: Math
Description: This class is designed for juniors who are determined to pursue an extremely rigorous AP Calculus AB or BC course their senior year. The curriculum for the first semester of this course will cover topics studied in traditional Pre-Calculus courses. In the second semester, students will begin the extensive study of the Calculus curriculum. If students successfully complete this course, they will then move on to AP Calculus AB or BC their senior year. Students in this course will be eligible to participate in The University in the High School Program in conjunction with SUNY Albany. Students that successfully complete this course can obtain as many as 3 credits from SUNY Albany at a reduced tuition.
ADVANCED PLACEMENT CALCULUS AB - 03605 - 1 CREDIT
Prerequisite: Credit in Pre-Calculus 101
Credit: Math
Description: An Advanced Placement course in Calculus AB consists of a full school year of work that is comparable to calculus courses in colleges and universities. It is expected that students who take a course in AP Calculus will seek college credit, preferential college placement, or both, from institutions of higher learning. The Calculus AB curriculum includes a rigorous study of functions, graphs, limits, derivatives, integrals, and their applications. Graphing utility technology is an important component of the course. Students are required to take the Advanced Placement exam which is given in early May. For information regarding AP exam dates and fees, please visit the College Board website at http://www.collegeboard.org
ADVANCED PLACEMENT CALCULUS BC - 03610 - 1 CREDIT
Prerequisite: Credit in Pre-Calculus 101 with Teacher Recommendation.
Credit: Math
Description: Calculus BC is the most rigorous calculus course offered by the College Board. Participants must be willing to pursue mathematical excellence and should, therefore, earn college credit and preferential placement from highly accredited colleges and universities. The BC curriculum includes more depth of study and many topics beyond those offered in AB Calculus, including parametric, polar and vector functions, polynomial approximations and series, and numerous additional applications of the derivative and integral. Students are required to take the AP exam which is offered in early May. For information regarding AP exam dates and fees, please visit the College Board website at http://www.collegeboard.org
COLLEGE CALCULUS - 03411 - 1 CREDIT
