AP CALCULUS BC

Grades 11-12, 5 Credits

Grades 9-12, 5 Credits This course builds on Algebra I to develop understanding of geometric relationships and reasoning. Students explore relationships among points, lines, planes, and figures. The course progresses from foundational concepts of the geometric plane to the study of triangles, polygons, and circles, applying postulates and theorems to solve real-world problemsGraphing technology and introductory trigonometry are integrated to deepen understanding and strengthen problem-solving skills. AP Calculus BC covers AP Calculus AB topics, as well as additional topics in differential and integral calculus and infinite series. This course is rigorous, challenging, and demanding, and is recommended only for those who appreciate and understand the theoretical aspects of mathematics. Additional topics are logistic growth, Euler’s Method, improper integrals, series convergence, and Maclaurin and Taylor Series. Students who take the AP Calculus BC examination will receive an AP Calculus AB subscore grade in addition to the AP Calculus BC grade. Prerequisite: Teacher recommendation and/or an 90 or above in Honors Pre-Calculus or successful completion of Advanced Placement Calculus A GEOMETRY
