It’s been said that change is the only true constant. Calculus helps make sense of change by grappling with questions that inspire thinkers from around the globe, across time, and in many disciplines. Can change occur in an instant? When is the next solar eclipse or the turning point for an economy?
Students can take Calculus for college credit through the AP Exam or Dual Enrollment through CU Succeed (MATH 1401 - Calculus 1 and MATH 2401 - Calculus 2).
Calculus is a challenging college-level course that exposes students to brand new mathematical concepts. It's important to get help early and often, as this class moves very quickly and topics build on each other. Students should expect to do 30-60 minutes of homework every day.
All information for this class (syllabus, notes, calendars, etc.) are on Google Classroom. If you miss class, check Google Classroom first!

Follow the directions on Google Classroom to access our textbook. I do not follow the textbook exactly, but it has more practice problems. It also helps to practice reading a textbook as you prepare to go to college.
AP Classroom is the best resource you have for videos! They follow our order very closely, and there are practice problems that will give you immediate feedback.
Below are links to additional video/text resources:
Past students have loved Paul's notes! There are lots of examples and practice problems.
