AP Calculus BC
Mathematics Fairfield Public Schools AP Calculus BC AP Calculus BC BOE Approved 04/08/2014 1 AP CALCULUS BC Critical Areas of Focus Advanced Placement Calculus BC consists of a full year of college calculus. This course is intended for students who have demonstrated exceptional ability and achievement in mathematics, and have successfully completed an accelerated program. To be successful, students must be motivated learners who have mathematical intuition, a solid background in the topics studied in previous courses and the persistence to grapple with complex problems. Students in the course are expected to take the Advanced Placement exam in May, at a fee, for credit and/or placement consideration by those colleges which accept AP credit. The critical areas of focus for this course will be in three areas: (a) functions, graphs and limits, (b) differential calculus (the derivative and its applications), and (c) integral calculus (anti-derivatives and their applications). 1) Students will build upon their understanding of functions from prior mathematics courses to determine continuity and the existence of limits of a function both graphically and by the formal definitions of continuity and limits. They will use the understanding of limits and continuity to analyze the behavior of functions as they approach a discontinuity or as the function approaches ± . 2) Students will analyze the formal definition of a derivate and the conditions upon which a derivatve exists. They will interpret the derivative as the slope of a tangent line and the instantaneous rate of change of the function at a specific value. Students will distinguish between a tanget line and a secant line.

Should You Take AP Calculus AB Or
Author: Success Pathway Email: [email protected] Calculus AB and BC’s significant distinction lies in the range of what you'll learn, not the difficulty level. Although both AP Calculus classes are intended to be university-level courses, Calculus AB utilizes one year to cover the equivalent of one semester of Calculus in a college semester. Calculus BC covers a total of two semesters. Both courses follow curriculum created by The College Board and requires students to take the AP exam in May. A student cannot take both AP Calculus AB and BC in the same year. AP Calculus AB teaches students Precalculus (A) and the beginning part of Calculus I (B). AP Calculus BC will also cover Calculus I (B) and part of Calculus II (C). Some of the topics covered in Calculus AB include functions, graphs, derivatives and applications, integrals and its application. On the contrary, Calculus BC will cover all of the above topics, along with polynomial approximations, Taylor series, and series of constants. AP Calculus BC Taking Precalculus and Calculus BC can prove to be a hard challenge. If a student is doing well in Precalculus and wants to pursue a degree in any math dominant career such as Engineering, they may want to consider taking Calculus BC. They will need to continue into more advanced math courses and Precalculus is a great prerequisite. They may want to consider taking AP Statistics, if their schedule allows. Taking AP Calculus BC will give students the opportunity to challenge their math skills. Provided a student passes the Calculus BC exam, they can transfer more credits to their future college than if they took Calculus AB.

The solutions contain the most common method of solving the free-response questions and the allocation of points for this solution. Some also contain a common alternate solution. Other methods of solution also receive appropriate credit for correct work. 2. The requirements that have been established for the paragraph length response in Physics 1 and Physics 2 can be found on AP Central at https://secure-media.collegeboard.org/digitalServices/pdf/ap/paragraph-length-response.pdf. 3. Generally, double penalty for errors is avoided. For example, if an incorrect answer to part (a) is correctly substituted into an otherwise correct solution to part (b), full credit will usually be awarded. One exception to this may be cases when the numerical answer to a later part should be easily recognized as wrong, e.g., a speed faster than the speed of light in vacuum. 4. Implicit statements of concepts normally receive credit. For example, if use of the equation expressing a particular concept is worth one point, and a student’s solution embeds the application of that equation to the problem in other work, the point is still awarded.

The AP® Program: Resources for Parents and Families I Chose to Take AP Courses Because I Love to Challenge Myself
The AP® Program: Resources for Parents and Families I chose to take AP courses because I love to challenge myself ... I feel thoroughly prepared for college because of the rigor of my AP classes. Anica, Senior, Denver In 2013, over 1 million U.S. public high school graduates took at least one AP Exam.1 What Is AP? The College Board’s Advanced Placement Program® (AP®) enables willing and academically prepared students to pursue college-level studies — with the opportunity to earn college credit, advanced placement or both — while still in high school. AP Exams are given each year in May. A score of 3 or higher on an AP Exam can typically earn students college credit and/or placement into advanced courses in college. Myth Reality AP is for students who always get AP courses are for any student who is academically good grades. prepared and motivated to take on college-level courses. Many schools use GPA weighting to acknowledge the additional effort required by AP. In addition, a decision Taking AP courses could hurt my to take an AP course shows admission officers a child’s GPA. willingness to take on the academic challenge of college-level course work and expectations. It’s no secret that AP courses are challenging, but the AP courses are too stressful. support students receive from their classmates and teachers can help ease their worries.

One of the most common replies is "Because I wanted to figureout why people do what they do:' Motivation theories address this question directly. Motivations are feelings or ideas that cause us to act toward a goal. Some motivations are obvious and conscious, but some are more subtle. In this chapter, we will review the connections between physiology and motivation, general motivation theories, and specific examples of motivation in hunger and sex. Finally, we will review the psychological research and theories about emotion and stress that are closely related to motivation theory.
