AP Course

In AP Calculus AB 1 students will gain experience in the use of calculus methods and learn to apply these methods to real-world problems. In this first semester course, students will become acquainted with derivatives, limits, approximations, applications, and modeling. Students will work with functions that are represented graphically, numerically, analytically, and verbally, and will learn to understand the connections between these representations. This course will focus on functions and function notation, inequalities, exponential and logarithmic functions, transformation of functions, trigonometric, power, polynomial, and rational functions, algebraic techniques for finding limits, one-sided and infinite limits, and continuity. This is the first semester of the AP Calculus AB series that will prepare students to take the AP Calculus AB exam. A graphing calculator is required.
