MA63 1 Math Credit Full Year
Prerequisite: Proficiency in Pre-Calculus and teacher recommendation.
This course is designed with a level of rigor suitable for the mainstream calculus student. This course is not designed for those wishing to obtain Advanced Placement credit. The student must have a strong background in trigonometry, coordinates, graphs, lines, functions, and algebraic manipulations. Topics will include functions and limits, differentiation, applications of differentiation, integration, applications of the definite integral, logarithmic and exponential functions, inverse and hyperbolic functions, and techniques of integration. A TI84 graphing calculator is required.

AB
Grades 11 - 12
MA60 - 1 Math Credit - Full Year
Prerequisite: Successful completion of MA51 (Honors Pre-Calculus) AND teacher recommendation.
Explore the concepts, methods, and applications of differential and integral calculus. You’ll work to understand the theoretical basis and solve problems by applying your knowledge and skills. The curriculum for AP Calculus AB is equivalent to that of a first-semester college Calculus course. All students enrolled are required to take the AP exam in May for which there is a fee of $95.
BC
Grade 12
MA61 - 1 Math Credit - Full Year
Prerequisite: Advanced proficiency in MA51 (Honors Pre-Calculus) AND teacher recommendation.
Explore the concepts, methods, and applications of differential and integral calculus, including topics such as parametric, polar, and vector functions, and series. You’ll perform investigations and solve problems by applying your knowledge and skills. The curriculum for AP Calculus BC is equivalent to a first-semester college calculus course and the subsequent single-variable calculus course. All students enrolled are required to take the AP exam in May for which there is a fee of $98.00.
