Each module will cover one of the most demanding concepts in this AP® Calculus AB & Calculus BC (based on College Board data from 2011–2013 Advanced Placement® exams).
These tricky topics are broken up into bite-sized pieces—with short instructional videos, interactive graphs, and practice problems written by many of the same people who write and grade your AP® Calculus exams.

Topics include:

  • AB/BC: Limits
  • AB/BC: Definition of Derivative
  • AB/BC: Chain Rule
  • AB/BC: Implicit Differentiation
  • BC*: L’Hospital’s Rule
  • AB/BC: Riemann Sums
  • AB/BC: Functions Defined by Definite Integrals
  • AB/BC: Modeling & Solving Differential Equations (1)
  • AB/BC: Modeling & Solving Differential Equations (2)
  • AB/BC: Rectilinear Motion
  • BC: Parametric Equations
  • BC: Introduction to Series
  • BC: Series Convergence
  • BC: Series Manipulation

This course is specifically designed for blended learning in AP classrooms, but can also be used by AP students independently as supplementary help and exam review.

Calculus 1C: Coordinate Systems & Infinite Series (edX)

Master the calculus of curves and coordinate systems; approximate functions with polynomials and infinite series. Part 3 of 3. How did Newton describe the orbits of the planets? To do this, he created calculus. But he used a different coordinate system more appropriate for planetary motion. We will learn to shift our perspective to do calculus with parameterized curves and polar coordinates. And then we will dive deep into exploring the infinite to gain a deeper understanding and powerful descriptions of functions.
