AP Calculus AB

AP Calculus AB explores the topics of limits/ continuity, derivatives, and integrals. These ideas are examined using a multi-layered approach. The student will be expected to relate the connections among these approaches. Students will also be required to synthesize knowledge of the topics of the course to solve applications that model physical, social and/or economic situations. As mandated by the College Board, graphing calculators will be required. Students are required to take the AP Calculus AB examination which is administered in May. College credit and/or advanced placement in college is available to students receiving a qualifying score on the AP Examination.
