AP STATISTICS (3190) Grades 11-12 Full Year: Credit 1.0
Prerequisite: Successful Completion of Math Analysis & Trigonometry
Required: TI-83/84 Graphing Calculator (approximately $80)
Advance Placement Statistics is a course equivalent to a one-semester introductory non-calculus based course fin statistics for
students who are planning on majoring in mathematics, engineering, psychology, sociology, science, or business. Topics to be
studied include: exploring data-observing patterns and departures, planning a study using experimental designs, anticipating
patterns by producing models using probability and simulations, and statistical inferences. In addition to solving problems,
students will utilize mathematical and statistical writing techniques. This course prepares the student for the AP Statistics
Exam. Qualified students may earn college credit through dual enrollment with Lincoln University. Recommended for juniors
who will be taking science research class their senior year. NCAA approved course.
AP CALCULUS AB (3201) Grades 11-12 Full Year: Credit 1.0
Prerequisite: Successful Completion of Math Analysis & Trigonometry
Required: TI-83/84 Graphing Calculator (approximately $80)
AP Calculus AB is a study of applications of derivatives and integrals in graphing, areas, volumes of solids of revolution,
differential equations, exponential growth and decay, displacement, optimization problems, and related rates. Completion of
this course will prepare students to take the AP Calculus AB exam or to enroll for college credit through dual enrollment with
Lincoln University. NCAA approved course.
AP CALCULUS BC (3202) Grades 11-12 Full Year: Credit 1.0
Prerequisite: AP Calculus AB
Required: TI-83/84 Graphing Calculator (approximately $80)
AP Calculus BC is the third course offered in the Calculus sequence. It covers polar and parametric equations, vector equations,
sequences and series and the applications of calculus to these new concepts. It also covers slope field, Euler’s Method of solving
differential equations, logistics equations, and other topics. Completion of this class, along with AP Calculus AB II, will
prepare students to take the AP Calculus BC test and/or to receive dual credit for Calculus II through Lincoln University.
NCAA approved course.
BUSINESS MATH (3150) Grade 12 Full Year: Credit 1.0
Business Math is a course where students will learn the mathematics needed to manage money. Basic math skills and formulas
will take students through step-by-step processes addressing wages, taxes, banking, recordkeeping, cash and credit cards, loans,
housing, purchasing a vehicle, insurance and investments. Each unit includes a project that allows students to demonstrate their
understanding of the concepts presented.
