AP Calculus AB, Part 1

APCALC 061 | High School Course

The AP Calculus AB series, which is the equivalent of a first-semester college-level calculus course, teaches students the fundamental principles of calculus. The course covers limits and how to calculate them, the concept of continuity and discontinuity, and derivatives. This is the first course in a two-part series that prepares students to take the AP Calculus AB exam and to explore opportunities in careers such as economics and math.
