COURSE DESCRIPTION

CALCULUS, A.P., B.C.

This course is taught with the same level of depth and rigor as a one year university calculus course for engineering and math majors. These standards outline a complete college curriculum in one variable calculus. Calculus is a widely applied area of mathematics, and also involves a beautiful intrinsic theory. Students mastering this content will be exposed to both of these important aspects of the subject. The focus of this course is to prepare the students to pass the B.C. A.P. Calculus exam in the spring as well as to successfully complete Loyola Marymount University (LMU) Math 131 and Math 132 (pending approval from LMU).
