<p>I don't understand this. What is the difference between Calculus AB and Calculus BC</p>
<p>AB covers differentiation and integration. BC covers AB topics along with Taylor polynomials and others that I do not recall as of now.</p>
<p>BC has Taylor series/polynomials, vector functions, logistic diffeqs, more integration methods such as integration by parts, polar equations and graphs, arclength, and Euler's method among other things.</p>
<p>The BC test usually rewards 2 semesters of calculus while the AB only 1.</p>
<p>just to confirm--</p>
<p>AB="Calc I"
BC = "Calc I + II"?</p>
<p>Yes, essentially</p>
<p>What you'll find is that AB is frequently really "Calc I + part of Calc II", but you'll rarely get credit for that part of Calc II until you actully take Calc II at the college.</p>
<p>Calculus BC is 60% AB material and 40% new material (Taylor polynomials, power series, some new tricks to integration etc.) Some schools offer AB and BC in the same year, in fact, and have students take the BC test on exam day, since most colleges will consider the AB subscore.</p>
