Functions and Their Graphs
Introduction The idea of a function is very important in math, especially in AP Calculus AB. Limits, continuity, derivatives, and applications are all based on knowing how functions and their graphs work. Students who have a good understanding of different types of functions and how their graphs work can better understand mathematical models and solve […]
Derivatives in AP Calculus AB
Introduction to Derivatives A derivative is a fundamental concept in AP Calculus AB that describes how a function changes as its input changes. In simple terms, derivatives measure the instantaneous rate of change of one quantity with respect to another — for example, how fast distance changes with time. Differential calculus is based on derivatives, […]
Should You Take AP Calculus AB or AP Calculus BC?
Introduction For high school students who are planning their academic paths, deciding between AP Calculus AB and AP Calculus BC can seem like a big deal. Both classes are at the college level and cover advanced math topics, but they are not the same. If you want to know things like: What’s the difference between […]
