Textbook: Calculus Early Transcendental Functions- 6th Edition by Ron Larson
Welcome to our class! I look forward to working with each of you in order to extend and enhance your understanding of mathematics.
In this challenging course, we will cover the material in the course description for AP Calculus as designed by the College Board. There are two AP Calculus courses-AB and BC. However, AB is not a prerequisite for BC. The AB course allows a student to spend a full academic year in the study of what most colleges would represent as one full semester course of freshman college calculus. There is time for review of math content as needed. The BC course is an extension of the AB course (60% AB topics, 40% BC topics) so that in a full academic year the student completes what most colleges would represent as two semester courses of freshman college calculus.
Topics of Study:
• Limits & Continuity
• Differentiation
• Graphical Analysis
• Differentiation Applications
• Integration
• Integration Applications
• Advanced Integration Techniques - BC
• Slope Fields & Differential Equations (including Euler’s Method & Logistics - BC)
• Convergence Tests - BC
• Series - BC
• Parametric & Polar Equations, Vectors - BC
Supplies:
• Notebook: to keep all your assignments, notes, quizzes, and tests. A 1 -inch or 1 1/2 inch binder will be fine. Keeping this notebook organized will better help you prepare for upcoming exams.
• Graphing Calculator (TI-83+ or TI-84+ are recommended). We have a class set of calculators that may be used in the classroom, but homework will often require use of a graphing calculator.
• Notebook Paper
• Graph Paper (Just a small package)
• 200 3” x 5” Notecards
• Sharpened Pencils with Erasers
• Red Pens
• Textbook
• Four new AAA Batteries (for class calculators)
• 1 Box Kleenex
Classroom guidelines: We will follow the school rules as outlined in your Student Handbook. Just remember to treat everyone with courtesy and respect.
Grading Policy: We will adhere to the G.I.S.D. grading policy.
Tutorial help: If you are having difficulty with assigned material, you should seek help as soon as possible. Tutorials are held before school daily in my room, 500, from 8:00 – 8:35 am. Tutoring is available after school on Mondays and Wednesdays in my room from 3:45 – 4:45 in Homework Haven. Library Nights tutorials are after school on Tuesdays and Thursdays in the GHS library from 4:15 – 6:15. The only exceptions to the tutorial schedule would be on days that I am assigned to duty or mandatory meetings. I will announce those as early as I am able to, and post them on my door. Additional tutorials may be available upon request.
