AP Calculus

  • What is AP Calculus?

AP Calculus is divided into two courses: AP Calculus AB and AP CalculusBC. AP Calculus AB is relatively simple.

AP Calculus AB is roughly equivalent to a freshman calculus course. It mainly covers basic concepts such as limits, inverses, the concepts and techniques of integration, and basic theorems of calculus. This course focuses on practical applications and will focus on how to use integration tools to solve problems in life, such as calculating growth rates, volumes of rotating bodies, accelerations, etc.

Our school currently offers the AP Calculus AB course.

  • Why Study AP Calculus?

Calculus is a required course for university majors such as science and engineering, economics, business, and computer science, and these courses are the key majors that most Chinese students apply for. The importance of calculus is self-evident. Completing this course in advance in high school will help students choose their target majors early.

This course can be exchanged for one to two credits depending on the university.

  • Suitable for people & prerequisite courses:

Students in G11 and above can take this course.

Prerequisites: Pre-calculus 12 is recommended.
