12. 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.
