6450   CALCULUS AP

Year, 2 credits

Prerequisite: B average in Algebra I C, Algebra II C, and Geometry C

 

Anyone taking Calculus AP should be highly motivated in mathematics.  A grade of “A” or “B” for Algebra I C, Algebra II C and Geometry C is almost a necessity.  Anyone not meeting the academic level of study will probably have great difficulty maintaining a satisfactory average.  Pre-Calculus/Trigonometry C is also required and may be taken the previous year or during the same year as Calculus.  This course will meet all of the requirements for the Calculus AB Advanced Placement Testing.  A thorough study of the two branches of Calculus, differentiation and integration, will be covered.  A major emphasis of the course will be applications and problem solving.  It is recommended, but not required, that the student have a graphing calculator.
