Advanced Placement Calculus AB 12 grade
Course Number: 3400 Full Year 1 Credit
Prerequisite: C+ or better in Pre-Calculus or Honors Analysis and Department Recommendation.
This course is designed for all students who passed a complete year of Pre-Calculus in their junior year with a C+ or
better. It covers topics included in a first semester college Calculus course, and functions are represented from
graphical, numerical, algebraic, and verbal approach. Course content parallels the topics identified by the College
Board as tested on the Advanced Placement Calculus AB exam. Topics covered include: multiple representations of
functions, limits and derivatives, differentiation rules, optimization problems, Newton’s method, Riemann sums,
interpretations and properties of integrals, applications of the integral, differential equations, and slope fields. At the
end of this course, the student will take the Advanced Placement AB exam. (TI- 83 plus calculator is required for
this course). Students enrolled in Advanced Placement course(s) are REQUIRED to take the Advanced Placement
Exam.
th
Advanced Placement Calculus BC 12 grade
Course Number: 3403 Full Year 1 Credit
Prerequisite: C+ or better in Honors Analysis along with Department Recommendation.
The prime objective of the course is the preparation for the Advanced Placement Examination. While initially
conceived for students intending a future mathematics and natural science college major, the course has been
broadened to include applications which are important to students with a wide range of other interests. Topics
covered are: analytic preparation in the study of functions; theory, proof and applications of theorems related to
limits, continuity, differentiability and integrability; algebraic, trigonometric and transcendental functions; and
derivations and applications of formulas for differentiating and integrating. Every student enrolled in this course is
expected to take the AP Calculus exam at the end of the school year. (TI-83 plus graphing calculator is required
for this course). Students enrolled in Advanced Placement course(s) are REQUIRED to take the Advanced
Placement Exam.
AP Statistics 11 , 12 grade

th
Course Number: 3525 Full Year 1 Credit
Prerequisite: A or B in either Pre-Calculus, Honors FST, Honor Analysis
The purpose of this AP Statistics course is to introduce students to the major concepts and tools for
collecting, analyzing, and drawing conclusions from data. The course will follow the topics and methods of
instruction suggested by the College Board. Topics include gathering and analyzing data, planning a
statistical study, producing probability models and simulations, and statistical inference. Students will be
required to use modern technology to make and prepare presentations and reports, both written and oral.
Students taking this course are expected to take the AP Statistics exam at the end of the school year. (TI-
83 plus graphing calculator is required for this course). Students enrolled in Advanced Placement
course(s) are REQUIRED to take the Advanced Placement Exam.
