AP Calculus BC.

Test Preparation
1

<p>I know there was a thread started for AP Calculus AB, but I wanted to see where those who are taking the BC exam in May are (especially those who are self-studying).</p>

2

<p>I'm self-studying. I finished Sequences and Series and now I'm starting to learn the parametric and vector stuff and just reviewing hard BC related rates and growth and stuff. I hate exponential growth. I hate the number e. It's gay.</p>

3

<p>We just finished integration by parts, partial fractions, L'Hopital, etc. We're getting ready to start sequences, series, Taylor expansions (ugh-I HATE them), conics, etc. </p>

<p>adidasty- e is awesome! I love Euler's equation.
e^(ix)= cos(x)+ isin(x) :)</p>

4

<p>Euler's method should die. So tedious. Sorry.</p>

5

<p>by self-studying, do you mean you're studying it entirely on your own, or go to sleep during class and study at home? i know its a dumb question...but im confused. oh, and what book would you recommend?</p>

6

<p>I'm taking the college-equivalent of AP Calculus AB, but self-studying the topics on the BC exam.</p>

7

<p>We've finished volumes of three-dimensional objects adn arc length and just had our midterm.</p>

8

<p>We're working on power series, about to start taylor and maclaurean...Then we'll be doe with the book. Our class is spending an entire quarter (from Feb to the test) reviewing for the test therefore...probably not too much self-studying on my part.</p>

<p>Euler's method MUST DIE! lol warblers rule- yeah i guess e is okay. but hey, i like your name. warblers do rule AND theyve been the subject of many cool animal behavior experiments.</p>

<p>We just started partial fractions, and have finished u substitution, integration by parts. We recently had a test on work and volume integration.</p>

All numerical methods should die. They suck.</p>

12

<p>I am just like dressagechick. We just finished volumes and arc length and had our midterm yesterday.</p>

13

<p>lol numerical methods...</p>

14

<p>We are taking a test on polar and parametric arc lengths and areas this week and then moving on to Taylor series which is our last chapter. We review after that.</p>

15

<p>u all should be thankful with staying in the two dimensional world.
3 D world's starting to get on my nerves (multivariable calc)</p>

16

<p>my ap calc bc class is soo slow...we just started integration two weeks ago. and that sadest part is this class is a double period five days a week. i think i'll teach myself the second half of the book next weekend...</p>

17

<p>I have also finished volumes and arc lengths and just took my midterm... can't wait for our new lesson tomorrow!</p>

18

<p>We finished integration by parts and starting volumes next week. We haven't learned much material yet, just review from last year. That makes me worried about the test. Any suggestion for AP Calc BC prep book?
Euler's method isn't that bad, just be careful (which is not one of my strength) and you'll be OK.</p>
