This course serves a follow-up to AP Calculus AB so students
can fulfill the curricular expectations of AP Calculus BC. The
course will involve an in-depth review of the AP Calculus AB
subject matter of limits, Differential Calculus and Integral
Calculus with the additional content that AP Calculus BC
requires of these topics. The majority of the course will focus
on topics unique to AP Calculus BC. These include Parametric,
Vector and Polar functions, additional methods of
integration, Geometric, Harmonic and Alternating Series,
MacLaurin and Taylor Series, testing for series convergence
as well as error bounds for series.
Upon successful completion of this course, students may
elect to take the AP Calculus BC Exam in May. Based on the
performance on this test, college credits above and beyond
those earned in AP Calculus AB may be earned.

The purpose of this course is to introduce students to the
major concepts and tools for collecting, analyzing, and
drawing conclusions from data. The class has four basic
themes:
• Exploring Data: Describing patterns and departures
from patterns
• Sampling and Experimentation: Planning and
conducting a study
• Anticipating Patterns: Exploring random phenomena
using probability and simulation
• Statistical Inference: Estimating population
parameters and testing hypotheses
It is intended that students enrolled in this course take the
Advanced Placement examination in AP Statistics in the
spring of their year of study.
Please note this course requires a graphing calculator (TI-83,
83+, 84, 84+, or TI-84 Color).
Recommendation: It is strongly recommended that students
taking AP Statistics have demonstrated a high level of
proficiency in their prerequisite course. This means that
students performed very well on assessments such as
midterm exams, semester exams or any other benchmark
assessments in the prerequisite course. This would be a
strong indicator of probable success in AP Statistics.
Upon successful completion of this course, students may
elect to take the AP Statistics Exam in May. Based on the
performance on this test, college credits may be earned.
