     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%
