2024 - 2025 Schedule

This year I am teaching AP Calculus AB and AP Calculus BC.

AP Calculus AB: This course is essentially Calculus Advanced Placement AB as described in the course outline published by the College Entrance Examination Board. It covers limits, derivatives, and applications of both algebraic and transcendental functions as well as methods and applications of integration. The approach used is that of combining the essentials of the theory with practical applications. A strong background in Honors PreCalculus will be required from the beginning of the course, and students will be expected to understand the concepts taught in class, as well as to transfer them to novel applications and problem-solving situations. This course is equivalent to a 1st semester college calculus course. Graphing calculators are required.

AP Calculus BC: This course is essentially the College Board Calculus BC Curriculum. Students will master material covering two semesters of a college calculus program. Students selected to take this course may elect to take an AP test in math with the possibility of earning one or two semesters’ credit at colleges and universities that participate in the College Board program. The course outline is the combination of the Calculus AB description and Calculus C listed above. Students will be expected to understand the concepts taught in class as well as transfer them to novel application and problem-solving situations. Graphing calculators are required.
