<p>I took AP Calc AB last year and now I'm in a class where we go over the AP Calc BC material the first few months before moving on to even more advanced calculus topics.</p>
<p>We don't have a textbook though, just a collection of random, really confusing worksheets.</p>
<p>So would you mind telling me the names of some textbooks your school uses for its AP Calc BC or even further calculus courses?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>i took AB and we used</p>
<p>Calculus: Graphical, Numerical, Algebraic by Finney, Demana, Watts, Kennedy</p>
<p>my teacher said its the same book for BC, we only use half of it for AB</p>
<p>^we used the same one as Shubham92.</p>
<p>I use "Calculus of a Single Variable" by Larson, Hostetler, and Edwards for BC Calc.</p>
<p>^ same as above.</p>
<p>I actually use PKWsurf21's book as reference.</p>
<p>We use this book for multivar calc.
Amazon.com:</a> Calculus: Multivariable: Howard Anton, Irl Bivens, Stephen Davis: Books</p>
<p>"Above AP Calculus BC" LOL We don't even have Algebra II at my school.</p>
<p>Anyway, I take BC online and we use "Calculus Single Variable Hughes-Hallett, Gleason, McCallum, et al." The review book is 2-3 times larger than the textbook.</p>
<p>From what I understand, AP Calculus BC must review AB in order to be approved by the college board. I'm not sure what else you guys will be covering--linear algebra, differential equations, multivariable calculus etc. You should probably ask if your teacher means multivariable calculus or just means things like delta-epsilon.</p>
<p>is Math Analysis the same as Multivariable?</p>
<p>thanks for the titles everyone. I will be sure to look into them:)</p>
<p>haha stupid question, but what's multivariable calculus? right now we're doing series and sequences, which is like bc, right?</p>
<p>@aigiqinf, it's not a real calc bc course. we just have the option of taking the ap calc bc exam if we want to in may since we go over that material at the beginning of the year.</p>
<p>^
No, Math Analysis is typically pre-cal... unless you mean something like real analysis.</p>
<p>Basic example of multivariable calculus: f(x,y,z)=sin(z)*(x^2)y/(x^4+y^2)</p>
<p>Multivariable</a> calculus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</p>
<p>Last year for my BC calc class we also used PKWsurf21's book. If you would like extra practice and help I would check out the website </p>

<p>and maybe even suggest it to your teacher. The BC manual is what my teacher used to teach the course. We actually never use the textbook even though it's made avaiable to us and most of the kids in our class get 5's. It's really straight forward and covers exactly the material on the test. </p>
<p>Also this year I am doing more advanced calculus and we have carried on with the same book, which we are actually using this year and I like it a lot.</p>
<p>okay, then I don't what textbook my school uses for Multivariable probably the one Princeton uses then...</p>
<p>I used the Larson book for reference last year (I took Calc online). It goes way beyond just BC, though, so it should be useful.</p>
<p>"Real" math analysis usually refers to courses you would take in junior or senior year in college; typical subjects include compact sets, sequences of functions, complex number analysis and other such stuff.</p>
<p>While Real Analysis is typically such a course, Math Analysis isn't. Real Analysis is a subset of Math Analysis and I imagine a college course named "Math Analysis" like a college course named "Calculus" without any other indicators. If find it a bit weird that someone would take high school math analysis after AP calculus BC because Math Analysis is a less common term in high school (popular on CC) for pre-cal. However, I would assume that one in such a course as college Junior/Senior Analysis would not only know what Multivariable calculus is but have taken it.</p>
<p>Of course, I'm wrong a lot. :) If one were in college math analysis it would be pretty cool.</p>
<p>Yeah you guys are right about Real Analysis I think it was like my Algebra I textbook...lol</p>
<p>I think for our Multivariable Class, since its fairly new doesn't use a textbook, its actually a really laid back class but I maybe we use "Marsden & Tromba, Vector Calculus" so whoever wants to study it might want to look in to that...</p>
<p>my actual senior math classes would be "Advanced Linear Algebra with Application" and "Introduction to Real Analysis" which sounds pretty cool to me :)</p>

<p>good books.</p>
<p>lol the hughes-hallet calculus books are the easieset books out there</p>
<p>@aigiqinf: you're right, vector calculus is a typical sophomore level course, so by the time you get to analysis you'll have had it already. Some of the more advanced math courses will cover such topics as existence and countability of sets such as transcendental numbers, number theory (prime numbers are still a hot topic) etc. E.g., why is (apparently) every even number greater than 3 a sum of two primes?</p>
