The Calculus AB course is primarily concerned with developing
the students’ understanding of the concepts of calculus and
providing experience with its methods and applications. The
course emphasizes a multi-representational approach to calcu-
lus, with concepts, results, and problems being expressed
graphically, numerically, analytically, and verbally.
