AP Calculus - BC

Advanced Placement Calculus BC is a full-year course in the calculus of functions of a single variable. It includes all topics taught in Calculus AB (course 2430), plus additional topics such as parametric, polar, and vector functions; applications of integrals; as well as series of constants and Taylor series.  In terms of common topics Calculus BC requires a similar depth of understanding as Calculus AB. Students completing this course will be prepared to take the Advanced Placement Examination in Calculus BC.  On this exam, in addition to the Calculus BC score, a Calculus AB sub-score is reported based on performance on the portion of the exam devoted to Calculus AB topics (approximately 60 percent of the exam). A Texas Instruments graphing calculator is required (TI 84+ is recommended.)
