Course Description

Description

This AP Calculus BC course covers topics typically found in a first-year college Calculus I and Calculus II course and advances the student’s understanding of concepts normally covered in high school Calculus. Major themes include differential and integral calculus. This course prepares students to take the Advanced Placement (AP) Calculus BC exam. The instructor is the guide for this course, but the student is the learner and will learn calculus by actively becoming engaged with the lectures, readings, animations, activities, and resources in the online textbook and written materials provided. Students can progress at their own rate with full comprehension of the course materials. Student knowledge will be assessed by completion of weekly exercises, online tutorials, supplementary readings, homework assignments, chapter tests, and other activities. This course has been reviewed and approved by the College Board to use the "AP" designation.

Topics include:

functions
graphs
limits and continuity
derivatives of basic functions
applications of the derivative
implicit differentiation
curve sketching
related rates
implicit differentiation to find the derivative of an inverse function
integration
applications of integration
geometric interpretation of differential equations via slope fields
L’Hopital’s rule
techniques of integration
applications of integral calculus
logarithmic and exponential functions
parametric equations and polar coordinates
sequences and series
differential equations
introduction to vector calculus and geometry

Timelines

Both 8-month and 6-month timelines are provided as possible guidelines for students to follow in order to finish within their desired time frame.

Students intending to take the AP exam should enroll by early October at the latest to allow enough time to complete the course before the May test date.

Materials Needed

Graphing calculator required, such as:

TI-83 PLUS
TI-84 PLUS
TI-85
TI-86
TI-89*

*Recommended

Although no textbooks are required for Calculus BC, students may find it helpful to use a single variable calculus textbook as a reference book, such as:

Calculus of a Single Variable (8th ed.) by Larson, Hostetler, and Edwards; Houghton Mifflin.

ISBN: 0618503048
