AP Calculus develops the student's understanding of the concepts of calculus (functions, graphs, limits, derivatives and integrals) and provides experience with methods and applications. The course encourages the geometric, numerical, analytical, and verbal expression of concepts, results, and problems.
The class will be broadcast five days per week. Each student must have a graphing calculator (TI-84 preferred, TI-83 acceptable). Access to a computer lab is required.

Students should have a strong background in algebra and functions, including polynomial, exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric. They should also be familiar with numerical, graphical, algebraic and verbal problem analysis – with or without a calculator.
