Welcome to Mr. Page's AP Calculus Notes
I. Intro to Calculus
II. Intro to AP Calculus
AP Calculus (also known as AP Calc) is a set of two distinct AP calculus courses and exams offered by College Board. AP Calculus AB covers basic introductions to limits, derivatives, and integrals. AP Calculus BC covers all AP Calculus AB topics plus integration by parts, infinite series, parametric equations, vector calculus, and polar coordinate functions, among other topics.
This site will cover all the topics with an emphasis on AP Calc BC.
