The topics for this course include Limits, Derivatives, and Integrals (both Definite and Indefinite). We will explore tools and techniques for applying these concepts, such as the Derivatives of Products and Quotients, and the Chain Rule. We will also form connections with the physical world, both for understanding and also for application. We'll use computers and apps where appropriate.
This course uses an unusual format, using two phases. First, we go through Calculus Made Simple in 8 weeks for a fast overview of the subject. Second, we then turn to APEX Calculus for a deeper and more rigorous view.
Prerequisites
Students should be comfortable at the pre-calculus level (including courses such as Algebra I/II, Geometry, and Trigonometry). A placement test may be required depending on previous work.
Recommended background
Pre-calculus (including Algebra I/II, Geometry, and Trigonometry) equivalent to Scholars Online courses.
Teacher's notes:
Class meets three times a week for problem solving and any required presentation of material.
