AP Calc AB?

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>I took a calculus class at the local community college this summer and got an A, to help prepare me for AP Calc AB. I barely managed an A both semesters, and calculus at my school is very difficult.</p>

<p>I was wondering how much material I would know going into the class. My teacher said we probably got through Chapter 8 in the textbook, which doesn't really help?</p>

<p>Can anybody tell me the major ideas covered?</p>

<p>I'm currently integrating, but I think the material we are covering is jumping around.</p>

<p>If you can take a derivative and an integral, you’re already way ahead of the curve.</p>

<p>If you took calculus already, you have probably learned most, if not all, of the material in AB. I only took BC in high school, though, so I don’t know exactly what AB covers.</p>

<p>The rest of my class (who took PreCalc last year) can find a basic deriviate using [f(x+h)-f(x)]/h as the lim h->0 …</p>
