<p>In the AP Calculus classes, do A, B, and C represent that the courses (AB & BC, that is) cover different units? I'll be taking AP Calc AB my junior year, and that's as high as my HS goes. I'd be able to continue through Community College during the summer after junior year & through senior year. This CC offers calculus in a series of three courses (Calc I, II, & III). Would it make sense for me to complete the third course in the series (I'm thinking that this would roughly equal the "C" portion of the AP courses), and then Multivariable Calc my senior year? Would this be repetitive? The description of Calc III at the CC is:</p>
<p>Continuation of differential and integral calculus: Infinite sequences and series, conic sections, plane curves and polar coordinates, vectors in the plane and in space, and analytic geometry in space. Applications to problems in science and engineering.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance :)</p>
<p>Calc BC would be the equivalent of Calc II.</p>
<p>Calc AB= Calculus I
Calc BC= Calculus I and II</p>
<p>So if you're going to take Calc AB Junior Year, Take Calc II and III Senior Year.</p>
<p>hopefully your question is answered and im not hijacking your thread, but i have a similar question. at my cc there are also three calc classes. the description for calc I is "functions, limits, and continuity; the derivative, definition, rules, and applications; implicit differentiation; antiderivatives, optomization." calc II is "definite integrals, techniques of integration, numerical approximation, applications of integration, differential equations: separable, growth and decay applications." calc III is "series, functions of two variables and their graphs, contour diagrams, vector algebra, dot and cross producs, multivariable functions, partial differentiation."</p>
<p>would this be enough for calc ab? if so, how far would i have to go to be able to take the ab test?</p>
<p>That's more than enough for calc ab. I'm taking calc 1 over the summer and taking calc ab next year and i'll learn 75% of what calc ab teaches you.</p>
