Grades: 9, 12, 10, 11
Credits: 0.50
Prerequisites:
Successful completion of AP Calculus BC A
Description:
AP Calculus BC is an extension of Calculus AB. The course emphasizes
broad concepts and applicable methods. The student will describe and
analyze functions, limits, and graphs; calculate and apply derivatives;
interpret and apply integrals; and study polynomial approximations and
series. The course provides opportunities for the student to apply
concepts to real-world situations.
Units:
Unit 1 - Applications of Integrations
In this unit, you will learn about applications of integration. Not all lessons are covered in the textbook.
Unit 2 - Integrations Techniques
This
unit covers techniques of integration, L'Hopital's Rule and improper
integrals. Not all lessons are covered in the textbook.
Unit 3 - Infinite Series Part I
This
unit is the first half of chapter 9 in the textbook. This unit covers
all the tests for convergence. You should memorize these tests.
Unit 4 - Infinite Series Part II
Unit
4 covers the second half of chapter 9 in the textbook. This material
covers Power, Taylor and Maclaurin series, Taylor and Maclaurin
polynomials and error computation. You will find this material
challenging.
Unit 5 - Parametric and Polar
This
unit covers most of chapter 10 in the textbook (we do not do two of the
textbook sections on conics.) Some of this material should be a review
from Precalculus. We also include the AP material on Vectors in this
unit, which is not covered in the textbook.
Unit 6 - Getting Ready for the Exam
The purpose of this Unit is to discuss the format and scoring of the AP Calculus BC Exam and to discuss test-taking techniques.
