AP CALCULUS BC

Grade Level:                                   11-12

The basic theory of Calculus is presented, like in AP Calculus AB, with additional topics.  This is a more rigorous and faster paced course than AP Calculus AB.  This course meets the Advanced Placement curriculum requirements, and students will be well prepared to take college level courses in mathematics.  The students will take the A.P. Calculus BC  test at the end of the year and may earn college credit.  This is  a  stand alone, parallel course to A.P. Calculus AB, not a subsequent course.
