I. AP Calculus AB Course Overview and Philosophy

In developing and using the topics of differential and integral calculus, students have the opportunity to solidify all their previous high school math experience, since practically all the major ideas from the prerequisite math courses are necessary for understanding. Consequently, we have high expectations which emphasize concepts reinforced with development and application rather than just procedure. Of course it is a goal that the successful student of Advanced Placement Calculus validate their success with a more that adequate performance on the AP Exam. However, beyond this, it is our desire that the successful student appreciates the high level of their mathematical success and at the same time come to realize that this accomplishment is not an end, but a beginning point for many other opportunities in various fields of study and work.

II. Course Outline for AP Calculus AB

The following is from the document, “Curriculum and Pacing Guide – Mathematics: Honors Calculus and AP Calculus AB (everyday block all year).” This document is relatively dynamic in that is regularly reviewed and updated as it should be. Although it may have more detailed than necessary, the columns in the pacing of each unit provide the general time line, sections of the text book, topics covered, major concepts, and suggested approaches and activities.

Curriculum and Pacing Guide - Mathematics Honors Calculus (120230) and AP Calculus AB (1202310) (everyday block all year)

Revised February 2007

This pacing guide is intended for use with the everyday block and will go all year. Students who successfully complete the 1st term will receive a credit for Honors Calculus. Students who successfully complete 1st and 2nd terms will receive one credit for Honors Calculus and one credit for AP Calculus AB and also take the AP Calculus AB Exam. Students who take AP Calculus in this manner cannot begin AP Calculus AB in the 2nd term. The intent is to cover the content of Calculus Honors and AP calculus AB without the intensity of completing the course on an all year alternating block. Honors Calculus (120230) and AP Calculus AB (1202310) (everyday block all year)

1. The beginning unit is a review of the concepts from algebra and pre-calculus concerning relations /functions will probably be necessary to some extent. These include linear, polynomial, rational, trigonometric, the generic functions, and piecewise functions. Topics relative to these are; slopes, domain and range, symmetry, intercepts, intersections, and the graphs of these relations/functions. The graphing calculator (TI-89) is used to reinforce these concepts, referring to the solving, table, and graphing capabilities of the calculator.

2. The concepts of a limit, as the independent variable approaches a particular value, are addressed numerically, analytically, and graphically. This involves developing the ideas of the existence of a limit. The issues are, if the limit exist, what is it, and if it does not, why not? This necessitates the understanding of “broken graph” (addressed in detail later with continuity), oscillating, and asymptotic behaviors. Examination of limits, including one sided limits, is done using the various algebra techniques for the types of functions, the properties of limits and special techniques for rational trig related functions. Continuity and the Intermediate Value theorem and their applications are also part of this unit.

The derivative is developed in this unit which involves the geometric interpretation of the tangent line at a point, leading to the limit definition of the derivative of a function. The limit definition is used both to find derivatives at a point and to develop the basic derivative rules. The relationship between continuity and differentiability is examined with attention given to continuous functions that have points where the derivative does not exist. Basic derivative rules are used for first and second derivatives and also for implicit derivatives. Areas of application in this unit are; finding equations of tangent lines (and normal lines) at a point, beginning motion problems, and related rates.

4. This unit continues the application of derivatives. Also three principle theorems are developed and used – the Extreme Value Theorem, Rolle’s Theorem, and the Mean Value Theorem. First and second derivatives are used to determine for a given function the critical values, intervals of increase and decrease, relative maxima and minima, points of inflection, and intervals concave up and concave down. These applications along with examination of limits at infinity for horizontal asymptotes and the previous study of asymptotic behaviors (vertical and slant) leads to curve sketching for the function. This application is done with and without graphing calculators. Included with this application is the examination of the relationships of the graphs of a function, the graph of its 1st derivative, and the graph of its 2nd derivative. The very useful and important derivative application of solving optimization problems are in this unit as well as linear approximations and differientials.

5. Integrals are begun in this unit through the introduction of the antiderivative (indefinite integral) which answers the question: What is a function whose derivative is given? This leads immediately to the basic integration rules. These are practiced. The notions of a family of curves and a general solution to a differential equation are introduced followed by the idea of a particular solution for an initial condition is developed and applied. This allows for more applications of motion problems. The definite integral is developed by first examining estimates of the areas of plane regions as sums of rectangles constructed by using a partitioning of an interval and the right, left, midpoint or any point of the partition. The definition of a definite integral can then be given as a limit to an infinite Riemann Sum, the exact area of the plane region. The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus is developed along with the Mean Value Theorem for Integrals leading to the Average Value of a function on an interval. The Second Fundamental Theorem is also given. The main applications here are areas of simple plane regions, accumulation problems, and average-value-of-a-function problems. More integration techniques are developed through pattern recognition, and substitution. This unit also includes estimation of plane regions by using trapezoidal approximation.

6. This is a substantial unit which addresses the calculus of transcendental functions – primarily logarithmic and exponential as well as the calculus of inverse functions. The integral definition of the natural logarithm function is used. Various derivative techniques are developed for natural logarithm functions and integral techniques for rational form functions, including trigonometric. Inverse functions are addressed with particular attention given to the natural exponential function as the inverse of the natural logarithm function. Solving logarithmic and exponential equations is reviewed. The derivative and integral of the natural exponential function are given. Logarithmic and exponential functions of any base are given along with their corresponding derivatives and integrals. This then gives the foundation for more application of differential equations and the examination of slope fields. Particular attention is given to differential equations in the form “ y’=ky” ( exponential growth and decay).

This unit involves the integral applications of finding areas and volumes. The definite Integral is used to find the areas of regions between curves using all types of functions. These are areas on an interval, areas between curves including curves with more than two intersections, also incorporating change of axis. The next application is volume. These are volumes of rotation using the disk, and washer method incorporating the change of axis. Volumes of three dimensional shapes with known cross sections completes this unit.

Total Instructional in the pacing: 51 Second term Days: 90

The remaining time in the 2nd term should be devoted to an over all review of the subject matter with the goal of preparing for the Advanced Placement AB exam. Depending on the scheduled dates for the exam this leaves about 25 to 30 days. Teachers should pick topics of interest from calculus such as moments and centers of mass and fluid pressure from chapter six for students to do after the AP exam. III. Major Text.
