Where is everyone in their highschool's Calc BC course?

Test Preparation AP Mathematics & Computer Science
1

<p>Just wondering what topics everyone is covering right now.</p>

2

<p>We just started chapter 3 on derivatives today.</p>

<p>We use this book:

</a></p>

<p>We are finishing applications of the derivative. Test on the 25.</p>

<p>So far we’ve finished:
All of AB
Integration Techniques
L’hopital’s rule
Improper Integrals
Euler’s Method
Logistic Equations
Work Problems
Surface Area/Arc Length
Some parametrics and vector things.</p>

<p>Parametrics, Vectors, Polar stuff which will be finished by the end of this quarter.</p>

<p>The second semester is 3rd quarter where all that is left is Infinite Series.
…If we didn’t take the first 2 and a half weeks in AB review and didn’t have AP test practice Fridays, we’d be done by now! It doesn’t really feel much more than AB–self-studying is very possible for you AB folks especially if the teacher’s lecture is 10 minutes long on trig substitution, you can learn the material pretty quickly :)</p>

<p>tangentline: I’m assuming AB is a prereq. for BC at your school?</p>

<p>We’ve covered up to concavity and the Second Derivative Test. Had two tests this week.</p>

6

<p>We finished L’Hopital’s. I think improper integrate are next. We’re taking it a little slowly because we review material a lot so that we don’t forget it thoughtful the year. It pays off though since all the people in my teacher’s BC calc class pass the AP test with mostly fours and fives :)</p>

7

<p>AB is a pre-req, and the skipping process of a math class involves getting approved by the math head, and if you want to skip PreCal/Cal, he’s going to get angry at you (I tried) and the people that have skipped either took it at a college or were geniuses with major parental complaining.
So our class this year is only seniors due to working your way up the sequence, starting with 27, now 24 and I’m sure there are other droppers for next quarter; not a lot of new material in the end, but the tests are hard.</p>

8

<p>We are on applications of derivatives and will be on integrals on Tuesday to bridge the gap for those who skipped AB.</p>

9

<p>Currently we are finishing derivatives. We group all the derivative sections together (ex. plane old derivatives, parametric, and polar derivatives, optimization, implicit, ect.). So basically most of the derivative stuff should be done by the end of this week. Next week we should start integration. </p>

<p>AB isn’t a prerequisite for our class :o.</p>

10

<p>just finished derivatives and related rates</p>

11

<p>We’ve finished derivatives (power, product, quotient, chain rules, along with implicit) and are moving on to optimization now.</p>

12

<p>I just did derivatives of inverses and exponential. How long are your classes, because mine are 45-55 minutes, and we haven’t even gotten to applications of derivatives yet.</p>

13

<p>My class just finished all of integration. It is insanely fast.</p>

14

<p>Finishing curve sketching.</p>

15

<p>whoops, stretching* and limit to infinity. 2 day unit wooh!</p>

16

<p>We learned about L’Hopital’s Rule today, and on Monday we’re learning improper integrals. Right now we’re in our integration techniques unit.</p>

17

<p>God, my class is so far behind. We’ve recently finished related rates, but I have a good teacher and Calc BC is not bad in general, so I’ll be fine probably.</p>

18

<p>We just started P-Series and error today. </p>

19

<p>finished optimization and differentials(like finding dy).</p>

20

<p>We are working on differential equations now (separable equations, slope fields, etc.).</p>
