Calculus
The purpose of this course is to enable students to develop knowledge and skills in calculus concepts while strengthening and extending concepts learned in previous mathematics courses.
The content should includes functions, limits and continuity, derivatives and their applications, antiderivatives, and definite integrals and their applications.
The use of a graphing calculator (TI-83/84)+ is integrated throughout this course.

*This course does not automatically culminate in college credit. Colleges and universities award credit and placement based on the student’s score on the AP exam and their standards.
+While the TI-89 is the latest model, it is significantly different from the TI-83/84 and not recommended at this time. Students trying to use this model are at a disadvantage because current materials and teaching techniques are geared towards the TI-83/84. Furthermore, the TI-89 is not currently accepted for use on all standardized tests.
Course Prerequisites: Pre-Calculus and Trigonometry
