4598– AP Calculus BC
Grade: 12 Credit 1.0
Prerequisite: A or B+ in Calculus AB, A in
Pre-Calculus/Math Analysis H, Department
Placement.
This college-level course is roughly equivalent to both
first and second semester college calculus courses
and extends the content learned in AP Calculus AB to
different types of equations and introduces the topic
of sequences and series. The course covers topics in
differential and integral calculus, including concepts
and skills of limits, derivatives, definite integrals, and
the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. Additional
topics include additional methods of differential and
integral calculus, such as parametric, polar and vec-
tor functions and series. The course teaches students
to approach calculus concepts and problems when
they are presented graphically, numerically, analyti-
cally and verbally, and to help make connections
amongst these representations, including using tech-
nology. Each student is required to have their own
TI-83 or TI-84 calculator for this class. All students
are required to take the Advanced Placement test in
May.
