OS – AP CALCULUS BC

The AP® Calculus BC course is a standard course in the calculus of a single variable. The course focuses on the understanding of differential and integral calculus through varied methods and applications. Students learn conceptual reasoning as well as how to present a solution algebraically, geometrically, numerically, or verbally. Students learn not only how to develop a clear understanding of the concepts, but also how to apply them in real-world situations. By the end of the course, students are able to read and interpret graphical data accurately, use words to explain their reasoning and provide context for final answers, and understand how they best learn online. The course covers all of the topics in the AP® Calculus BC curriculum, as well as additional topics as time permits. Major topics include limits, continuity, derivatives and applications, integrals and applications, first order linear differential equations, inverse trigonometric functions, transcendental functions, infinite series, Taylor polynomials, vectors, parametrically defined functions, and polar coordinates. This personalized course features discussions, reflections, and projects to help students master skills in an engaging way.
