AP Equivalent of MIT OpenCourseware Single Variable Course?

<p>I'm doing MIT's OCW Single Variable Course (18.01). You can find the course syllabus here:</p>

<p><a href="http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mathematics/18-01-single-variable-calculus-fall-2006/syllabus/"&gt;http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mathematics/18-01-single-variable-calculus-fall-2006/syllabus/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Is this the equivalent of AP Calculus AB, AP Calculus BC, or not quite either? (By neither, I meant it's more advanced than AB, but less than BC).</p>

<p>If it's not the equivalent of BC, which topics is it missing?</p>

<p>I'm asking because I've been told BC is the equivalent of 2 semesters or college calculus, and AB is 1 semester. This course is only 1 semester, but given it's MIT we're talking about, I wasn't really sure if the same rule applied...</p>

<p>I would think it is equivalent to BC if Single Variable includes series and stuff like that. Single Variable is generally Calc 1 and 2, and BC is pretty much equivalent to that.</p>

<p>If you learned the material from all those lectures, you would know Calculus I and II, or AP Calculus BC. </p>
