Series Details
About
If you are taking AP Calculus AB this year and want a head start, this series is for you!
Through this three week crash course, we will cover two of the three fundamental parts of Calculus AB: limits, and derivatives, with an emphasis on AP style questions and theorems, supplemented with Khan Academy homework. In addition, this course will also review some AP tips from someone who scored a 5 on the exam.
Note: All learners must have a prerequisite understanding of Algebra II and trigonometry for this course to be useful.
✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY
Learners will be removed if they miss more than two sessions in a row, unless they contact the tutor, get the lesson slides, and keep up with the homework.

Session 2
Catchup
This session will serve as a supplemental pre-calculus workshop. Here we will review the precalculus functions (exponentials, logarithms, and higher order polynomials) as well as trigonometric functions.

Session 3
Limits and continuity
In this session, we will go over what a limit is and the strategies to solve them. In addition, we will review what it means for a function to be continuous and focus on AP questions that revolve around limits.

Session 4
Integration and accumulation of change
This is a session for learners that are already familiar with differential calculus and want to move forward with their knowledge! This session we will be going over integration by parts, and many practice problems on this method of integration.

Session 7
Differentiation: definition and basic derivative rules
In this session, we will go over what a derivative is by applying what we learned about limits. In addition, we will go over basic differentiation formulas including: the power rule, constant multiplier rule, and sum and difference rules.

Integration and accumulation of change
This is a session for learners that are already familiar with differential calculus and want to move forward with their knowledge! This session we will be going over integration by Partial Fraction Decomposition (PFD) after looking at an application of integration by trigonometric substitution, and many practice problems on this method of integration.
