AP Calculus is a two semester
course and covers the topics normally associated with college-level
Calculus I and II. Students must attain a grade of 85 or higher
for the first semester to advance to the second semester. Students
who do not receive an 85 or higher will be awarded honors credit for the
course. All students will take the AP Calculus (BC) examination in
order to receive course credit.
The primary text for the
course is Calculus (3rd Ed.), Hughes-Hallett, et al.
Supplementary texts include Calculus, Finney, Thomas, Waits, &
Kennedy; Calculus, Ostebee & Zorn; Calculus: Early
Transcendentals, Anton, Bivens & Davis; and Calculus,
Foerster. During the course review we also use Multiple-Choice
& Free-Response Questions in Preparation for the AP Calculus (BC)
Examination (6th ed.), Lederman.
Students are required to
have their own graphing calculator (TI-83, TI-83 Plus, or TI-89).
