Calculus AB, Advanced Placement - 2562

Grades 10-12

Two Trimesters

Prerequisite(s): Pre-Calculus/Trigonometry

AP credit available with the AP exam in May and IU M211 credit is available for students who qualify in August on the IU Math Skills Assessment and pay for 4 credit hours at IU. This course is taken during the first two trimesters, to be followed by optional but recommended third trimester Advanced Calculus AP. This is a rigorous course which partially covers as much of the College Board’s AB level AP Calculus curriculum as can be done in two trimesters. (To cover the entire AP curriculum or the IU M211 curriculum, students should also enroll in the optional 3rd trimester of MATH - Advanced Calculus AP MA920 (see the next course)). The first two trimesters partially prepare students for the AB level AP Calculus exam in May. While not a requirement, all students are expected to take this exam. Students who want IU credit must take the third trimester course (see course below) Students taking this course must have finished their Trig/Pre-Calc course (no exceptions.) This topics include the theory, algorithm processes, and when and how to use limits, derivatives, applications of derivatives (graphing, related rate, max-mi), integration (including the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, and applications of integration.
