Calculus AB

Calculus AB covers the fundamental concepts of differential and integral calculus, preparing students for advanced mathematical applications.

Practical Applications

Engineering and Technology

Building the Future with Calculus

Engineers use calculus to design everything from roller coasters to smartphones.

Optimizing Designs

Derivatives help find the best angles for solar panels or the safest curves for roads.

Measuring Changes

Calculus lets us predict how systems respond to changes, like how buildings sway in the wind or how circuits handle electricity.

Changing the World

Whether it’s safer cars or faster computers, calculus is essential!

Examples

  • Designing the most efficient shape for an airplane wing using derivatives.

  • Calculating the amount of material needed for a bridge by integrating its cross-section.
