Teacher recommendation is suggested for this course. Summer work is required. In this course we will build conceptual understanding of topics by combining graphical, numerical, and algebraic viewpoints. This strategy will permeate all areas of study so that you will gain a deep and useful understanding of the topics of differential and integral calculus. The spectrum of applications will be broad, ranging from the life & social sciences to business & economics to science & engineering. Topics will include limits and continuity; derivatives of algebraic, trigonometric, and transcendental functions; applications of the first and second derivative; integrals of algebraic, trigonometric, and transcendental functions; applications of integrals; and separable differential equations. Students are expected to successfully conquer the AP Calculus AB  exam in May. Students should own a TI-84 Plus graphing calculator.
