Calculus AB is a course for mathematically mature students who are majoring in the sciences or mathematics. The course goals are for the student to work with functions represented in a variety of ways: graphical, numerical, analytical, or verbal, and to understand the connections among these representations. The student should be able to communicate mathematics both orally and in well-written sentences and should be able to explain solutions to problems. The student should be able to model a written description of a physical situation with a function, a differential equation, or an integral; use technology to help solve problems, experiment, interpret results, and verify conclusions; determine the reasonableness of solutions, including sign, size, relative accuracy, and units of measurement. Calculus BC includes all topics covered in Calculus AB plus additional topics which include polynomial approximations, more complex problems dealing with differentiation and integration, analysis of planer curves, in addition to Euler's Method, L'Hopital's Rule, and Taylor Series. Students in the course are highly encouraged to take the AP Exam in May.
