AP Calculus AB is designed to be the equivalent of a first semester college calculus course. The courses feature a multi representational approach to calculus, with concepts, results, and problems expressed graphically, numerically, analytically, and verbally. Exploring connections among these representations builds understanding of how calculus applies limits to develop important ideas, definitions, formulas, and theorems. A sustained emphasis on clear communication of methods, reasoning, justifications, and conclusions is essential. The course includes regular use of technology to reinforce relationships among functions, to confirm written work, to implement experimentation, and to assist in interpreting results. This course is taught on the college level and the topics meet the requirements set forth by the College Board.
