CALCULUS AB, ADVANCED PLACEMENT

Calculus AB, Advanced Placementis a course based on content established by the College Board.Calculus ABis primarily concerned with developing the students’ understanding of the concepts of calculus and providing experience with its methods and applications. The course emphasizes a multirepresentational approach to calculus, with concepts, results, and problems being expressed graphically, numerically, analytically, and verbally. The connections among these representations also are important. Topics include: (1) functions, graphs, and limits; (2) derivatives; and (3) integrals. Technology should be used regularly by students and teachers to reinforce the relationships among the multiple representations of functions, to confirm written work, to implement experimentation, and to assist in interpreting results. A comprehensive description of this course can be found on the College Board AP Central Course Description web page at:
