103 Part1

This AP Calculus BC syllabus outlines two main units: Limits and Their Properties lasting 12 days, and Differentiation lasting 30 days. The course is designed to cover two semesters of college calculus, including extensive study of functions, graphs, limits, derivatives, integrals, approximations, and series, approached through graphical, numerical, analytical and verbal representations. Students will complete problem sets and a formal lab report each quarter reinforcing the Rule of Four.

AP Calculus BC Syllabus

Brief Description of Course: This course is designed to cover two


semesters of college calculus material. It covers an extensive study of
functions, graphs, limits, derivatives, definite integrals, polynomial
approximations and series and applications of all of the above. Each of
these topics is approached via the "Rule of Four", with activities that
emphasize expressing mathematics from graphical, numerical,
analytical, and verbal representations. Maintaining consistency with
our district, we will require a formal lab report each quarter that
reinforces "The Rule of Four".
