{300} ADVANCED PLACEMENT CALCULUS (12AP) This course is intended for the mathematically talented student who might major in college in mathematics, engineering, or a related scientific field. This course covers the fundamental concepts, techniques, and applications of differential calculus of one variable and begins the study of integral calculus. Students should be able to work with functions represented graphically, numerically, analytically, and verbally. Some of the topics covered are: limits, differentiation, integration, and applications of both. Much work is done in theory before computation skills are stressed. Since some students may elect to try for advanced placement at the college level, this course will be rigorous. Students should expect homework on a regular basis of approximately one hour daily. A graphing calculator is required. (TI-83 preferred) Students are strongly encouraged to take the AP exam in the spring. RECOMMENDED PREREQUISITE: Honors Pre-Calculus (1 credit) *RIC/EEP
