<p>I’m on my way to GaTech next year and I’m really tempted to take the Calc I credit so I’ll have more time for other classes. However, I’m afraid if i take the credit that I’ll be behind everyone else because I took the AB class in High school. I have a princeton review AP study book that covers material in the AB and BC course. If I self-taught the rest of that book to myself, do you think i’ll be prepared for Calculus 2, or are there any other resources that are available online that would help me in my endavours? Thanks!</p>

<p>That is their Calc II course. </p>
<p>Taylor Polynomials and Taylor Approximation<br>
L’Hospital’s Rule and Improper Integrals<br>
Infinite Series<br>
Power Series<br>
Numerical Integration and ODE’s</p>
<p>^ Are all BC topics. Reviewing them will help you understand them when you take the course. The rest of the course appears to be linear algebra, so knowing BC doesn’t really help you at all.</p>
<p>All the BC topics in calc II are not hard to learn, and with an ap review book you can learn them fine. Even if you don’t, it’s not too hard to learn in a course. The BC students will get a refresher for the bc topics, then everyone is on the same page for the Linear Algebra half.</p>
<p>AB = Calc I
BC = Calc II</p>
<p>^ That’s generalized, but top math/science schools often mix/match math courses to get more depth into them. For example, Calculus II [18.02] at MIT is:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>In essence, Calc II is nothing of Calc BC there.</p>
<p>It is generalized, but we’re not talking about MIT here.</p>
<p>If the OP has covered all the material in BC, I’m sure he will be prepared for Calc II.</p>
