Calculus AB covers the fundamental concepts of differential and integral calculus, preparing students for advanced mathematical applications.
Calculus isn't just for scientists—economists and biologists use it to model and predict changes in populations and markets.
Derivatives help businesses decide how much to produce by measuring how cost or revenue changes with each additional product.
Differential equations predict how populations grow or shrink, accounting for things like birth rates and resource limits.
Businesses use calculus to maximize profit, and ecologists use it to preserve wildlife populations.
Using derivatives to find the production level that maximizes profit.
