Calculus is a mathematical tool used to analyze changes in physical quantities. In this course, students’ prior knowledge from College Pre-Calculus of functions especially trigonometric, logarithmic, and exponential will be expanded. Limits, continuity, differentiation, integration and their applications (especially those involving rectilinear motion) will be studied extensively. This is a college course designed for students interested in pursing advanced studies in math or math-related fields and is structured in accordance with the AP College Board guidelines. It is rigorous and challenging. Students should expect to spend significant time outside of class working independently and in groups.

The AP Calculus BC course is a standard course in the calculus of a single variable. Students learn conceptual reasoning, presenting a solution algebraically, geometrically, numerically or verbally. Students develop a clear understanding of the concepts, as well as their applicability in real-world situations. By the end of the course, students are able to read and interpret graphical data accurately; use words to explain their reasoning and provide context for final answers; and understand that they know how to learn online. All topics in the AP Calculus BC course are covered, and additional topics as time permits. Major topics include limits, continuity, derivatives and applications, integrals and applications, first order linear differential equations, inverse trigonometric functions, transcendental functions, infinite series, Taylor polynomials, vectors, parametrically defined functions, and polar coordinates.
