Calculus BC
Description: Topics include limits, derivatives integrals of algebraic and transcendental
functions, Continuity, application of derivatives to related rates, maxima and minima, curve
sketching, integration formulas, applications of the definite integral, Methods of integration,
graphing, and integrating with polar coordinates, and definite consequences and series, power
series, vectors, and differential equations. This course has a faster pace and covers more
content than the calculus AP course leading to the possibility of more college credit.
Skills for Success: Students should have strong algebra skills and the ability to recall
mathematical knowledge learned in prior math classes. Students should also be able to adapt
and learn in different ways.
Academic Suitability: Students should have successfully completed accelerated precalculus.
Out of Class Commitments: Homework is assigned regularly. Assignments include textbook
problems to be done nightly, free response AP practice problems (26/year) two complete
outside of class, quiz (15/year) preparation , and an online homework assignment (11/year)
some students might also require additional help before or after school.
Summer Work: None
