This course is an opportunity for students to experience the rigor of a college course in high school. Students will explore first term calculus concepts including limits, tangent lines, derivatives and antiderivatives. Students will complete application problems of the derivative and antiderivatives, such as area under a curve, volumes of rotated solids, and optimization and related rates problems. Students prepare for the AP exam by completing practice tests. This course demands a high level of commitment to study, practice and time. Students in this course will take the AP exam in the spring that may result in college credit. A graphing calculator is neccessary for participation in this course.
