AP Calculus AB 12

AP Calculus AB emphasizes a deep understanding of fundamental calculus concepts while providing students with experience in a variety of methods and real-world applications. Students are expected to use definitions and theorems to construct logical arguments and justify their conclusions. The course adopts a multi-representational approach, exploring calculus concepts and problems through graphical, numerical, analytical, and verbal perspectives. Clear and precise communication of methods, reasoning, justifications, and conclusions is a central focus throughout the course. AP Calculus AB is designed to be equivalent to a first-semester college calculus course and concentrates on differential and integral calculus. Topics include limits, continuity, differentiation and its applications, integration, differential equations, and applications of integration. Students will write the AP Calculus AB exam in May.

Course Prerequisite: Pre-Calculus 12 completed (recommended) or concurrent
