<p>How far along are you? I'm trying to guage, because my teacher is terrible (it's her first year teaching AP) and I don't want to get too far behind.</p>
<p>Right now, we're doing growth and decay, just finished differentiation by parts.</p>
<p>My teacher is also a first-year AP teacher, but he's awesome.</p>
<p>Politely ask her to step up the pace. I had to do this with our AP Physics C class -- teachers really like input.</p>
<p>We finished differentiation.</p>
<p>we're moving to derivatives of inverse trig functions right now. CH 7 in the Stewart book I believe. . .our teacher is very much experienced, supposedly we're about 60% done.</p>
<p>we actually did inverse trig fcns last year (Calc I) but the problem, HP, is that my teacher is a royal biznitch. I don't think that's an option...plus, she has a predisposition against white males (that's me) in a predominantly black high school, so I'm already not on the good list (even though I have the highest grade in the class).</p>
<p>Our teacher has a lot of experience teaching Calc AB. I think we go a little slower than the Calc BC class at our school, but we'll still be finishing the course sometime in March.</p>
<p>Anyway, we just finished Applications of Derivatives. She spent a little extra time on it before the test, in part because we're about to have a mid-term (Monday). After that we'll start on Integrals, I presume...</p>
<p>integrals and substitution.</p>
<p>we're up to rolles theorem and extrema</p>
<p>are you all taking AB or BC? My teacher's only pushing for AB.</p>
<p>We just finished up the chapter on Integration. We have a test tomorrow, which i'm dreading.</p>
<p>UIUC '09</p>
<p>Jerod</p>
<p>2nd day of integrals by substitution (BC) on ch 6 of 10 chapters.</p>
<p>we're on pace to finish with a little over a month before the AP.</p>
<p>did anyone here take the continental math league test for calculus today, dec. 2, 2004?</p>
<p>differentiation by parts??? do you mean partial derivatives (not part of the AP curriculum) or the chain rule, or do you mean integration by parts? we're at the end of extrema and curve sketching (using first and second derivative tests to curve sketches). we go slow in general. i dont know about the rest of u, but we continue the core curriculum of AP calc almost right up to the test. For a few weeks before, we'll review, but we won't finish basically until the test.</p>
<p>basically we're at the beginning of integration and the fundamental theorem of calculus... btw calc bc</p>
<p>We are on the second day of integrals-- antiderivatives and indefinite integration. Chapter 4 in Larson, Hochstedler, Edwards (Calculus of a Single Variable), Calc AB. I think we will finish about two weeks before the test, but I'm not sure. My teacher has never had problems finishing the book, though.</p>
<p>by differentiation by parts, I mean integrating two functions multiplied together, for example dy/dx=(e^x)(sin x)</p>
<p>Hey sonar, which school do you go to? I go to Southfield High. I'm also in Chapter six, so maybe I can push for BC after all.</p>
<p>in other words, integral udv=uv - integral vdu</p>
<p>we just started integration....</p>
<p>are you taking AB or BC?</p>
<p>Don't know if you are taking BC or not. For me, BC. Doing "Alternative Methods of Integration" and Arc Length...2/3 through the book.</p>
<p>We just finished optimization and now we are on linearization. Easy stuff.</p>
