Course Description
This Advanced Placement (AP) course is accelerated in rigor and pace. AP Calculus BC is a continuation of Calculus A. The primary focus of the course is preparing students for the AP Calculus BC exam. Topics covered include transcendental functions, techniques of integration, applications of integration, and infinite series. Also, the material from Calculus A will be reviewed extensively in preparation for the BC exam. Students are encouraged to provide graphing calculators for use in this course. Calculus A should be taken in the fall of the school year that a student is taking AP Calculus BC. College credit at most universities may be earned for Calculus I and II by scoring a 3, 4, or 5 on the AP Calculus BC exam. Participation in the national AP test is a mandatory component in the rigor of this course.
