About

Are you taking AP Calc AB next year? Then this series is the best way to get a headstart over the summer. 
﻿
In this week-long crash course, I will help you master Unit 2: Differentiation and apply it to REAL AP EXAM PROBLEMS so you can ace your class and get a 5 on the AP exam. 
﻿
Learn easy tricks and develop proficiency while gaining confidence in your first experience in Calculus. Looking forward to working with you!

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

Please do not miss a session over the week. We will be covering a lot each day and missing a session will put you pretty behind the rest of the group. I will withdraw you if you have an unexcused absence. If you really cannot make it use the "excused absence" feature so that the absence is recorded.

Past Sessions

Session 1

Differentiation: definition and basic derivative rules

Mon Jun 10, 3:00 PM

Today we will do a quick orientation to cover the entire week. Then we'll jump right in and start learning about what a derivative is, and connecting it to Limits and other foundational math concepts. 

Jun

Session 2

Differentiation: definition and basic derivative rules

Tue Jun 11, 3:00 PM

Today we will look at differentiability, which is whether or not a function even has a derivative. This concept eventually ties into theorems later in AP Calc that have a big part in the AP exam. 

Jun

Session 3

Differentiation: definition and basic derivative rules

Wed Jun 12, 3:00 PM

Today we learn the most foundational derivative rule: The power rule
﻿
We will apply the power rule in many different cases to see how derivatives can work

Jun

Session 4

Differentiation: definition and basic derivative rules

Thu Jun 13, 3:00 PM

We will explore derivatives in tables,which are an important problem format on the AP Exam. We will also go over more derivative test cases using power rule. 

Jun

Session 5

Differentiation: definition and basic derivative rules

Fri Jun 14, 3:00 PM

Today we will dive into special derivatives: e, ln, and all trig ratios. These are all very important when getting to more complex problems 

Jun

Session 6

Differentiation: definition and basic derivative rules

Sat Jun 15, 3:00 PM

Today we will connect all of our concepts from the past 3 days with the product and quotient rules, which are 2 cornerstone rules for differentiation.  

Jun

Session 7

Differentiation: definition and basic derivative rules

Sun Jun 16, 3:00 PM

Last day of our series! We will take the final test for this unit and go over some real ap exam problems to apply what we learnt over the week.
