This multi-media online course is an advanced math course designed for the college-bound student seeking to build a strong math foundation. After reviewing properties of functions, students study limits, continuity, differentiation, integration, and differential equations while working in an interactive, virtual environment. In their studies, students will explore Riemann Sums, the Chain Rule, the Mean Value Theorem, the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, as well as several differentiation and integration techniques.
An online textbook Calculus: Graphical, Numerical, Algebraic by R. L. Finney et al., published by Pearson Prentice Hall is provided to students as an additional resource. Students must supply their own graphing calculator.
Completion of Algebra 2 is a prerequisite for taking this one-unit course. Calculus has 9 examinations.
American School does not offer Calculus as an Advanced Placement* course. (The College Board* does, however, allow students not enrolled in AP* program courses to take the AP*exams, which are given annually in May. Motivated and interested students are encouraged to check with the College Board* for more details on registering for the Calculus AB* exam, which is one of two Calculus AP* exams offered.)
