Calculus AB covers the fundamental concepts of differential and integral calculus, preparing students for advanced mathematical applications.
Calculus helps us understand how objects move, accelerate, and interact in the universe.
Velocity is the derivative of position—knowing one lets you find the other. Acceleration is the derivative of velocity (or second derivative of position).
Integrating velocity gives you position, and integrating acceleration gives you velocity.
From tracking a soccer ball’s flight to planning a rocket’s path, Calculus is your friend!
Predicting when two cars moving at different speeds will meet.
Finding how far a runner travels over time by integrating their speed.
