You should have averaged at least B- grades in either Algebra II, College Prep., or Math 1050 before entering this course. MENU

AP STATISTICS The purpose of this course is to introduce students to the major concepts and tools for collecting, analyzing, and drawing conclusions from data. Students are exposed to four broad conceptual themes: · Exploring Data: Describing patterns and departures from patterns. · Sampling and Experimentation: Planning and conducting a study. · Anticipating Patterns: Exploring random phenomena using probability and simulation · Statistical Inference: Estimating population parameters and testing hypotheses (year) MENU Students who successfully complete the course and examination may receive credit and/or advanced placement for a one-semester introductory college statistics course, or general math credit. In order to be successful in this class you should have averaged at least a B- in any of the following classes prior to taking the course: Math 1050, College Prep, Statistics, or Pre-Calculus.

AP CALCULUS (AB) Calculus is the culmination of high school mathematics courses. It is the study of limits, derivatives, integrals and various applications of these ideas. In this course you will learn the mathematics that Sir Isaac Newton invented to calculate a variety of mathematical and scientific concepts. Speeds of planets, gravitational forces, rates of change, cumulative and net change, velocities and accelerations are some of the ideas that require calculus if scientists are to make discoveries and theories involving such things. (year) In order to be successful in this class you should have averaged at least a B- in any of the following classes prior to taking the course: Math 1050, College Prep, or Pre-Calculus. MENU This course will cover the same material that a college “CALCULUS I” class would cover. If you pass the AP test you will get college general math credit and be able to start your college mathematics career at the CALC II level.

AP CALCULUS (BC) Calculus is the culmination of high school mathematics courses. It is the study of limits, derivatives, integrals and various applications of these ideas. In this course you will learn the mathematics that Sir Isaac Newton invented to calculate a variety of mathematical and scientific concepts. Speeds of planets, gravitational forces, rates of change, cumulative and net change, velocities and accelerations are some of the ideas that require calculus if scientists are to make discoveries and theories involving such things. (year, A & B day) In order to be successful in this class you should have averaged at least a B+ in any of the following classes prior to taking the course: Math 1050, College Prep, or Pre-Calculus.
