Description: 

In the spring semester, students will continue their preparation for the AP Calculus AB exam. We will use the techniques of differentiation covered in the fall semester to solve real-world problems. We will also explore integration. We will find basic strategies of integration and apply those to finding area, volume and arc length of unusual shapes.

The same textbook is also used for AP Calculus, (Fall Semester).
