AP CALCULUS B/C
AP Calculus BC extends the concepts of limits, differentiation, and integration studied in AP Calculus AB to include sequences, infinite series, and parametric, polar and vector valued functions. More attention is given to techniques of integration using parts, trigonometric substitution, partial fractions, and improper integrals. Optional topics include vector analysis, developed to study lines, planes and surfaces in 3-dimensional space and/or advanced problem solving techniques used in major mathematics contests. The student develops ideas from analysis throughout AP Calculus BC. The course prepares the student for the BC level Advanced Placement test.
