Calculus

BC AP: This course follows the Advanced Placement BC syllabus of the College Board. This is a college level course, which is offered to qualified students to prepare for the Advanced Placement Examination (Level BC) in calculus. It will give substantial training in differential and integral calculus and related analytic geometry. As a college level course, the teaching and assignments will be of college depth and length. Students are required to participate in the New England Math League and Math Olympiad competitions that will be scheduled during the academic day. Recommended: Honors Advanced Mathematics (85%) (Full year course, open to grade 12); 1 credit

AB AP: This course follows the Advanced Placement (Level AB) syllabus of the College Board. Included in the course are the study of elementary functions, limit theory, and the methods of differential and integral calculus together with applications. Students are required to participate in the New England Math League and Math Olympiad competitions that will be scheduled during the academic day. Recommended: Honors Advanced Mathematics (75%) or Advanced Mathematics CP1 (85%) (Full year course, open to grade 12); 1 credit

Introductory Calculus CP1: This course in the accelerated series provides an introduction to calculus. It is intended to prepare students for more rigorous college calculus courses. Course topics also include analytic geometry, elementary functions, limit theory, and methods of differential and integral calculus with applications. Recommended: Advanced Mathematics (Full year course is open to grade 12); 1 credit

Topics in Calculus AB or BC: This course is designed to be taken in conjunction with any of our Calculus courses. Students will be offered an opportunity to review many of the major concepts that are presented in our Calculus curriculum for the purpose of remediation and/or reinforcement. Topics that will be discussed will include: limits and continuity, derivatives, applications for derivatives, integration, applications of definite integrals, transcendental functions, and infinite sequences and series. It is our belief thatstudents gain most in the study of mathematics by being involved with it. Toward this end, students will be given many opportunities to work in a cooperative learning environment to solve and then present their solutions to a variety of open response problems. The course is designed for students who feel that additional practice would be beneficial to their understanding of the Calculus curriculum. (Full year course, open to grade 12. Course will meet twice during a seven-day cycle)
