AP Calculus A / B

In AP Calculus AB, students learn to understand change geometrically and visually (by studying graphs of curves), analytically (by studying and working with mathematical formulas), numerically  (by seeing patterns in sets of numbers), and verbally. Instead of simply getting the right answer,  students learn to evaluate the soundness of proposed solutions and to apply mathematical  reasoning to real-world models. Calculus helps scientists, engineers, and financial analysts  understand the complex relationships behind real-world phenomena. The equivalent of an  introductory college-level calculus course, AP Calculus AB prepares students for the AP exam and further studies in science, engineering, and mathematics.

AP courses may require additional materials to be purchased by the student, such as textbooks, lab equipment, or specific software. These extra resources are often necessary to meet the advanced curriculum demands and ensure successful preparation for the exams.
