COURSE DESCRIPTION: AP Calculus AB is roughly equivalent to a first semester college calculus course devoted to topics in differential and integral calculus. The AP course covers topics in these areas, including concepts and skills of limits, derivatives, definite integrals, and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. You’ll learn how to approach calculus concepts and problems when they are represented graphically, numerically, analytically, and verbally, and how to make connections amongst these representations. You will learn how to use technology to help solve problems, experiment, interpret results, and support conclusions. The course will prepare students for the Advanced Placement in Calculus AB exam. It is recommended that a student has received a grade of C or higher in Pre-Calculus and obtained a teacher recommendation for Calculus.
