Dear AP Calculus Student,
Welcome to AP Calculus. This course is primarily concerned with developing your understanding of
the concepts of calculus and providing experience with its methods and applications. The course
emphasizes a multi-representational approach to calculus, with concepts, results, and problems being
expressed graphically, numerically, analytically, and verbally. In order to be successful in this course
you need the proper foundation. (i.e., knowledge of algebra, geometry, trigonometry, analytic
geometry, and elementary functions). You will have to be very familiar with the basic families of
functions, and all of their representations, in order to be successful in your study of calculus. The
concept of functions underlies everything that calculus considers.
You will also need to be able to carry out certain computational tasks (i.e., algebra skills) with
efficiency and accuracy if you are going to be successful in calculus. These include manipulations of
functional symbolism, solving algebraic equations involving the functions mentioned above,
interpreting numerical values given by formulas, graphs, and tables, using and manipulating data,
and knowing how, and when to use your calculator.
This is a rigorous college course. The curriculum and pace of the course is intense and all enrolled
students are required to take the AP exam. Since this is a college class you can expect to spend
approximately 1-2 hours completing homework or studying for every hour that you are in class
learning. Each test and quiz that is given is cumulative and will be graded as per the College Board
guidelines. Therefore, this course will be challenging and demanding.
Please complete this summer assignment on the attached document, show ALL of your
work/process and be neat and organized. Do NOT use a calculator for any of the problems.
Due: Second day of class.
Also, you will be tested on this material throughout the entire year, so it is in your best interest to
review the sample questions provided on the subsequent pages, and prepare yourself prior to the
first day of school. The skills needed to complete this summer assignment are sills that we expect
you to possess prior to the first day of school. Therefore, if you are unable to answer some of these
questions, we suggest that you start studying and ask questions!
Feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns that you or your parents may have. Have a
restful summer and be ready for an exciting time in AP Calculus next year.
Sincerely,
Jered Mbatchou (BC Calculus)
