Course Description: AP Calculus BC/Multivariate Calculus Hon (Standley Lake High School)

This course follows the College Board's suggested curriculum designed to parallel college-level calculus courses. AP Calculus BC provides students with an intuitive understanding of the concepts of calculus and experience with its methods and applications, and also requires additional knowledge of the theoretical tools of calculus. This course assumes a thorough knowledge of elementary functions, and covers all of the calculus topics in AP Calculus AB as well as the following topics: vector functions, parametric equations and graphs, polar coordinates and functions, advanced techniques of integration, advanced applications of the definite integral, polynomial approximation and series. One semester Multivariate Calculus includes the study of hyperbolic functions, improper integrals, directional directives, multiple integration and its applications. The honors course prepares students for advanced course work and engages students in enrichment opportunities. Rigor is demonstrated through sophistication and acceleration in terms of thought-provoking learning activities, challenging assessments, and more complex text/materials. Diverse interests, cultures, perspectives, learning styles, and intelligences are cultivated and higher level critical and creative thinking skills such as interpretation, problem-solving, investigation, and logic are emphasized throughout the honors course.
