<p>What is the best prep book for Calc AB?</p>
<p>by barrons book or Larson Hostetler Edwards Calculus I with Precalculus second edition. (by the one with precalc in case you need to review precalc)</p>
<p>Wow you guys’s classes are waaay ahead of mine and I’ve been in school since mid-August. We’re still doing like a super in-depth review of trig. There’s a lot of people who weren’t in honors pre-cal in my class this year so they need the trig bad. Those of us who we’re in honors last year know derivatives and limits and such but since those others don’t we’re gonna have to do a super in-depth review of that too…</p>
<p>Also have a test in this class friday so I’m ready to get 100 on it and get the year started right. Also got an AP Spanish and AP physics test this week so its gonna be a long week…</p>
<p>I have a test tomorrow I think but its all on review from the summer work and pre-calc and what not so it should be really easy for me.</p>
<p>Delta-epsilon proofs don’t show up on the AP Calc AB (or BC) exam. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>^thank goodness. I HATED doing those last year. The worst part of pre-cal in my opinion.</p>
<p>Also, saw this link on the 2011calc thread: <a href=“http://www.stat.washington.edu/~handcock/505/Lectures/lec6.pdf[/url]”>http://www.stat.washington.edu/~handcock/505/Lectures/lec6.pdf</a>
supposedly its really good</p>
<p>LOL got a 95/100 on my summer project/test assignment(started school on thursday)…50 for the project, 45 for the test. Really surprised because my answers seemed off. Oh well, I’ll take it! 95 in the class to start off, for me, is awesome because I ALWAYS start bad in math classes for some reason, and have to work my way up.</p>
<p>Though I imagine most of you already know about the [Khan</a> Academy](<a href=“Khan Academy | Free Online Courses, Lessons & Practice”>Khan Academy | Free Online Courses, Lessons & Practice), this will be very helpful for those of you that don’t.</p>
<p>so the BC class at my school is learning about differentiation, the other AB class is finishing limits, and my class is still on trig…something seems horribly wrong with that…almost wanna switch teachers. He says he’s doing some extensive trig review so the actual calculus will be easier or something? seems a little ridiculous to me</p>
<p>im planning on watching a couple of khan academy videos for topics i dont understand. for chemistry as well</p>
<p>Even though delta epsilon is not on the AP Exam. My teacher said that he was “educationally obligated” to teach it to us. (He mentioned that an actual calc class in college would spend a decent couple of days on these stupid proofs) Anyway, delta epsilon proof is by far the most enigmatic thing I have ever learned in math. I get how to do it, but I have no idea what my answer means. I felt like I was solving the meaning of life. Anyway, I still haven’t had an official quiz/test in AP calc yet.</p>
<p>Who’s finding it easy or hard so far?</p>
<p>I’m finding it kinda hard but that’s only because we’re still doing trig which is my downfall.
He says there’s a reason for this extensive review of trig…</p>
<p>I think it is somewhat on the easy side. Today, we had “group work” where groups compete for extra credit. It was on limits, and my group completely wrecked the other groups. Limits are easy. Delta epsilon proofs are stupid and easy.</p>
<p>We had our 4th class today. We’ve done basic limits, squeeze theorem, etc.</p>
<p>Anyone else trying to self-study BC?</p>
<p>I might self study BC calc. Anyway 1st quiz tommorow! Let’s go!!!</p>
<p>my class is a joke so far. hopefully it will get more challenging. cant decide if i should switch into BC, self study for the BC exam, or neither.</p>
<p>my quiz was so hard, I may have gotten a B, since I got a bonus question right.</p>
