AP
Calculus AB
This is a
rigorous course with a higher GPA count and will include homework most
nights. Calculus Advanced Placement
AB is a college level course requiring college level work. Because this is
an AP course, retests are not available. The course is intended for students who
have taken the Pre-Calculus Pre-AP course.
Heavy emphasis will be placed on the calculus concepts of
derivatives, related rates, integrals and their applications. Use of a graphing calculator will be
essential.
Six-weeks’
grades will be weighted as follows:
Tests: 75%
Homework: 25%

AP Calculus BC
This is a
rigorous course with a higher GPA count and will include homework most
nights. Calculus Advanced Placement
BC is a second year calculus course.
Because this is an AP course, retests are not available. Calculus AB concepts are extended to cover vector, parametric
and polar functions. Additional
topics include convergence and divergence of series and sequences, power
series, including Taylor
series, and elementary differential equations. This course parallels a second semester
college calculus course.

Pre-Cal Pre-AP
This is a rigorous course with a higher
GPA count and will include homework most nights. This course is designed for students who
have demonstrated a thorough knowledge of Algebra 2 and Geometry. All the topics covered in the
Pre-Calculus course will be covered, but they will be covered in more
depth. Additional topics will also
be taught. Homework is
essential and will be assigned frequently.
Retests are available if a minimum of 70 is
not attained on any test. This course is designed to better prepare
students for Advanced Placement Calculus.
The two main themes of study will be Trigonometry and Elementary
Analysis.
Six-weeks’
grades will be weighted as follows:
Tests: 70%
Homework: 30%
