3352 Honors
This course will introduce students to the ideas and applications of single variable differential calculus and to the foundations of single variable integral calculus. This will include, but not be limited to, the definitions and applications of limits, continuity, the derivative, and the definite and indefinite integral. Students will be expected both to become proficient with basic skills and to demonstrate an understanding of the underlying principles of the subject. Knowledge of Precalculus will be assumed, in particular knowledge of lines, polynomials, rational functions, trigonometric functions, and exponential and logarithmic functions. Students are also expected to be proficient with algebra. Regular and frequent access to a graphing calculator for class activities as well as homework is required.
3373 Advanced Placement
This course is a rigorous and theoretical study of Calculus. It follows the syllabus for the AB level of the Advanced Placement Program which includes derivatives, applications of derivatives, integration and applications of integrals. Students in Honors Precalculus AB are invited to sign up for the course. It is expected that all members of the class take the Advanced Placement Examination in Calculus (AB level) in May, at the student’s expense. Regular and frequent access to a graphing calculator for class activities as well as homework is required.
3363 Advanced Placement
This course is a rigorous and theoretical study of Calculus. It follows the syllabus for the BC level of the Advanced Placement Program. This syllabus includes the curriculum from the AB syllabus plus additional topics, including: more integration techniques and applications, sequences, series, parametric equations, and polar coordinates. It is expected that all members of the class will take the Advanced Placement Examination in Calculus in May, at the student’s expense. Regular and frequent access to a graphing calculator for class activities as well as homework is required.
3383 Advanced Placement
This course is designed to extend the two dimensional analysis studied in AP Calculus BC to three dimensions. Topics will include functions with more than one variable, 3-dimensional vector analysis, optimization, and multivariable differentiation and integration techniques and applications of both. This course is weighted as an AP class on our weighted GPA scale. Regular and frequent access to a graphing calculator for class activities as well as homework is required.
