Preparing for the AP* Calculus AB and BC Exams (Part 2 - Integral Calculus)

By University of Houston System via Coursera
Free
Self-paced
6 weeks, 7-9 hrs/week

This is a 6 week course covering the second part of AP* Calculus curriculum which includes integration rules, techniques and applications. * AP Calculus is a registered trademark of the College Board, which was not involved in the production of, and does not endorse, this product.

About the Course
This course reviews the topics for the AP Calculus AB Exam.

The course is divided into two parts. Part 1 is Differential Calculus and incorporates mostly AB topics but does have some BC topics. Part 2 is Integral Calculus, and again is mostly AB material. The BC material that is not covered in either of these parts will be reviewed in an extension.

Each week of the six week review will include review videos for an important block of material, complete with videos of worked example problems and exam tips. There will also be extensive online quizzes given each week, with multiple problem versions that students can use to practice, along with practice tests to help students prepare for the AP* Calculus AB Exam.

Preparing for the AP Calculus AB Exam – Part 1: Derivatives

By Rice University via edX
Free
Self-paced
7 weeks, 2-4 hrs/week


The first course in a comprehensive series designed to prepare you for the AP Calculus AB exam.

About this course
This is an Archived Course
EdX keeps courses open for enrollment after they end to allow learners to explore content and continue learning. All features and materials may not be all available. Check back often to see when new course start dates are announced.

Preparing for the AP Calculus AB exam requires a deep understanding of many different topics in calculus as well as an understanding of the AP exam and the types of questions it asks. This course is Part 1 of our XSeries: AP Calculus AB and it is designed to prepare you for the AP exam.

In Part 1, you will be learning about limits and derivatives. Limits are an integral part of calculus and many important ideas, definitions, formulas and theorems in calculus are derived from a limit. Derivatives are used to describe the rate of change of one variable with respect to another variable, allowing you to understand change in a variety of contexts. You will be learning to apply derivatives to real-world applications such as related rates, optimization, and growth/decay models.

As you work through this course, you will find lecture videos taught by expert AP calculus teachers, practice multiple choice questions and free response questions that are similar to what you will encounter on the AP exam and tutorial videos that show you step-by-step how to solve problems. By the end of the course, you should be ready to take on the AP exam!

What you'll learn
  • Limits
  • Derivatives
  • Applications of Derivatives

In Part 2, you will use and apply the meaning and interpretations of derivatives from Part 1 to the integral, antiderivatives and differential equations. You will learn some applications of integrals including finding volumes of solids and solids of revolution, volumes with known cross sections and applications to Velocity-Time graphs. We will close with an introduction to differential equations and see how they are used.
