<p>A question to all who have taken (or are planning to take) AP Calc BC (or maybe AB, but I'm taking BC next year) - do you learn how to write Delta-Epsilon proofs and do mathematical induction? Is there a whole chapter or a few sections dedicated to these two things?</p>
<p>Just curious because I'm learning those two things in my Honors Precalc class right now and I'm finding them to be the most boring thing in math I've ever done. Answer up, AP Calc BC folks!</p>
<p>It's fairly standard to learn in most college Calc classes.</p>
<p>well, i took calc BC this year and we never even mentioned it. but last year in my pre-calc class we did it for like a week. but my teacher said not to worry about it because he wouldn't test us on it, so nobody really cared about it. hah.</p>
<p>No, they were in our textbook but we weren't tested on them.</p>
<p>Good god, I wish we had an Honors Precalc. I'm in regular Precalc and it's horrible. My class moves so slow. We spent the first SEMESTER of the year (yes, half of the year) reviewing Algebra 2. In the second semester we got through three chapters, pretty much learning about the unit circle and a bit more relating to it.</p>
<p>The worst part is I knew most of it already because we talked about it in Math League...</p>
<p>Sounds exactly the same at my school Jarn..</p>
<p>Almost all AP Calculus classes removed delta-epsilon from their curriculum.</p>
<p>We did delta-epsilon proof for limits in calc. It wasn't on a test though, just a "bonus" for those who can stay through the lecture :)</p>
<p>Who... what?</p>
<p>we did delta-epsilon limit proof but its not on the AP. math induction is on the IB Math HL exam, but not on the AP for AB or BC Calc.</p>
<p>We did induction in both precalc and calc BC/HL Math, because as cooldude mentioned, it's on the HL test.
We did Delta-Epsilon in BC too, but we never went back and reviewed it, and I certainly didn't encounter it on either the BC or HL test.</p>
<p>We did it, but it wasn't emphasized. :)</p>
