AP Calculus Test Prep

Service Description

Introduction This book is intended for students who are preparing to take either of the two Advanced Placement examinations in Mathematics offered by the College Board, and for their teachers. It is based on the latest Course and Exam Description published by the College Board and covers the topics listed there for both Calculus AB and Calculus BC. The Courses Calculus AB and BC are both full-year courses in the calculus of functions of a single variable. Both courses emphasize: (1) student understanding of concepts and applications of calculus over manipulation and memorization; (2) developing the student’s ability to express functions, concepts, problems, and conclusions analytically, graphically, numerically, and verbally and to understand how these are related; and (3) using a graphing calculator as a tool for mathematical investigations and for problem solving. Both courses are intended for those students who have already studied college-preparatory mathematics: algebra, geometry, trigonometry, analytic geometry, and elementary functions (linear, polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic, trigonometric, inverse trigonometric, and piecewise). Topic Outline for the AB and BC Calculus Exams The AP Calculus course topics can be arranged into four content areas: 1. Limits, 2. Derivatives, 3. Integrals and the Fundamental Theorem, and 4. Series. The AB exam tests content areas 1, 2, and 3. The BC exam tests all four content areas. There are BC-only topics in content areas 2 and 3, as well. Roughly 40 percent of the points available for the BC exam are BC-only topics. Bock, David; Donovan, Dennis; Hockett, Shirley O.
