Number:
Prerequisite(s): Completion of Honors Pre-Calculus with a 70% Open to Grades: 11, 12
or higher or completion of Pre-Calculus with an
80% or higher or Completion of Trigonometry &
Analytical Geometry with 90% or higher or
teacher recommendation.
Career Finance Science, Technology, Engineering and
Cluster(s): Information Technology Mathematics
Description: Calculus is the study of how things change. This calculus course is designed for the student who plans to
pursue a non-science related field in college. Business Calculus begins with a brief review of pre-calculus concepts then
moves to the study of limits, derivatives and integrals. These concepts will be applied to polynomial, power, rational,
exponential, and logarithmic functions. In addition, this course includes an introduction to calculus of several variables.
This course and the CHS course cover the same content. This course differs from the AP Calculus classes by placing less
emphasis on trigonometric functions and the proof of theorems; more emphasis is placed on the use and application of
calculus concepts.

Description: Calculus is the study of how things change. This calculus course is designed for the student who plans to
pursue a non-science related field in college. Through successful completion of the coursework and CHS exams, a student
may earn four college credits. Placement into this course is contingent upon earning a passing score (as determined by
the University of Pittsburgh’s College in High School Program) on the ALEKS placement test. Business Calculus begins
with a brief review of pre-calculus concepts then moves to the study of limits, derivatives and integrals. These concepts
will be applied to polynomial, power, exponential, and logarithmic functions. In addition, this course includes an
introduction to calculus of several variables. This course differs from the AP Calculus classes by placing less emphasis
on trigonometric functions and the proof of theorems; more emphasis is placed on the use and application of calculus
