AP Calculus bc<br />

- A/B<br />

(Required<br />

Double Period)<br />

THIS COURSE WILL further develop the student’s understanding of the<br />

concepts of calculus and provide additional developmental experience with<br />

its methods and applications. AP Calculus bc is a college level calculus<br />

course (equivalent to most colleges’ second semester of calculus) designed<br />

to prepare students for success on the College Board’s Advanced<br />

Placement Calculus bc Exam. It emphasizes a multi- representational<br />

approach to calculus with concepts, results, and problems being expressed<br />

graphically, numerically, analytically, and verbally. Broad concepts, widely<br />

applicable methods, and specific applications are the focus, and include the<br />

topics of derivatives, integrals, limits, approximations, applications,<br />

modeling, Taylor and Maclaurin series, polar coordinate systems, and<br />

parametric equations. STUDENTS WILL be challenged with higher-order<br />

thinking skills, problem-solving applications, basic programming, and<br />

abstract concept interpretations, that solidify the foundations needed for<br />

advanced work in physics, chemistry, engineering, mathematics and<br />

statistics, finance and economics, and many other career pursuits.<br />

Students will use technology regularly to reinforce the relationships among<br />

the multiple representations of functions, to confirm written work, to<br />

implement experimentation, and to assist in interpreting results. Students<br />

will be encouraged to take the Advanced Placement Calculus BC exam in<br />

May. TI-83 / TI-83 Plus or TI-84 graphing calculator is required for the<br />

course. Other graphing models are also allowed but will not be taught as a<br />

part of the course. Students who elect to take the Advanced Placement<br />

exam will be required to pay the test fee. (Qualified students may apply for<br />

financial assistance.)<br />
