1 Course Introduction
1.1 Introduction
The AP Calculus AB course is a standard course in the calculus of a single variable.
The goal is to teach conceptual reasoning, enabling students to present a solution
algebraically, geometrically, numerically or verbally. Emphasis is placed not only on a
clear understanding of the concepts, but also on their applicability in real world situations.
All of the topics in the AP Calculus AB syllabi are covered, as well as additional topics
as time permits. Major topics include limits, continuity, derivatives and applications,
integrals and applications, first order linear differential equations, inverse trigonometric
functions, transcendental functions. This student-centered course features discussions,
reflections, and projects that help students to master the course material in an engaging
way. Technology and graphing calculators are used extensively in this course to reinforce
the concepts covered. All students must possess a TI-Nspire graphing calculator.
1.2 Aims
The aim of AP Calculus AB is to:
1. Develop logical, critical and creative thinking;
2. Improve the ability of understanding and expression, study the skills of
communication;
3. Apply and transfer skills to alternative situations, and patience and persistence in
problem-solving;
4. Understand mathematics and enjoy the beauty of mathematics;
5. Develop an appreciation of calculus as a coherent body of knowledge and as a
human accomplishment.
