Welcome to Calculus!

3540 CALCULUS  (Factor 9)

Prerequisite: PreCalc, Enriched PreCalc or PreCalc Honors

Recommendation: At least an 80 final average in PreCalc.

This is a first year college level course in calculus (equivalent to Calculus I and part of Calculus II in many colleges and universities). It stresses the basics of calculus such as limits, continuity, differentiation, and integration of algebraic and transcendental functions, along with basic applications of each. For this course, students will need a graphing calculator for home and school use. The purpose of this course is to give the college bound student a good, solid foundation in calculus enabling further study in college easier. Since no AP exam will be taken in this course in the spring, the pace is less rigorous than in AP Calculus AB. A three hour school final exam will be given in June.
