<p>I don’t know if there is another thread for AP CALC, well there probably is… but this is the official thread, okay? </p>

<p>post stuff like…</p>

<p>questions/answers from assignments, quizzes, or tests
where are you guys in class, we just started Chapter 4- Application of Derivatives</p>

<p>Our teacher is the worst teacher known to mankind, no joke. </p>

<p>What are the best websites for notes?? </p>

<p>In general, how is your overral well-being? Have you gotten jumped yet for taking AP calc, do people thank God b/c they are not taking it like you? </p>

<p>For me, it is a constant reason to die. But I am coping, and I think it’s a pretty cool math, that is of course, when I actually comprend the sh1t. </p>

<p>In addition, my 4.0 gpa is in jeopordy b/c i’m not taking it pass/fail, otherwise im doing great. </p>

<p>P.S. I will get a 3 or higher on the exam in May. </p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>you should call your teacher a third order position derivative if you hate him so much</p>

3

<p>very, very bad joke coolphreak. very bad =/,</p>

4

<p>How far is anyone in BC?
I’m on parital fractions.</p>

5

<p>I’m in IB math higher level. Just wondering, how far are you guys in the AP calculus syllabus? What are you doing now? Which book are you using?</p>

<p>We’re dong integration by parts now. But thats basically the end of integration, I think.</p>

<p>I’m just wondering how the courses compare. I have a friend in the states in AP Calc AB and he just now had a test on integration, max/min points, pts of inflection, etc. not even integration yet! slooooooooowwwwww.</p>

6

<p>We just did integration by parts today.</p>

7

<p>we started derivatives of inverse trig functions</p>

8

<p>optimization</p>

9

<p>i’m in ab…we just finished applications of derivatives…our last topic we covered was related rates</p>

<p>on to integrals…</p>

10

<p>We are in series right now. Chapter 8. Why are you guys still doing differential and integration?</p>

11

<p>Just started the chapter on natural logs -5 in our book.</p>

12

<p>In BC</p>

<p>We’ve been doing Fundamental Theorem of Calculus…</p>

<p>Started pattern recognition yesterday. (Chain rule for integration)</p>

13

<p>In AB</p>

<p>We’re doing Fundamental Theorem of Calculus too!!! but its for definite integrals. mostly on that and more practice with u-substitution and all that jazz. moving on to area between two curves and revolution of a solid :)</p>

14

<p>wow some of you guys are behind. we’re on ch 7 in larson book, volume of washers/disks (revolution of a solid)</p>

15

<p>heh in multi calc =P im a psycho '05-'06 =)</p>

16

<p>i took AB last year and really enjoyed it, so i’m in BC this year (i thought i would be more interested than if i was in ap stats)… we basically cov ered oh i’d say 4/5 of the AB curriculum in one month, which was great. we’re on fundamental theorem of calculus now. </p>

<p>AB people-- make sure you’re continuously doing practice long response AP questions… it helps a lot. write out all the steps as if you were doing it on the test. you’ll be so prepared for the real deal.</p>

17

<p>Chap 4 on the Larson-Hosteller book</p>

18

<p>I’m taking AB and we’ve been skipping around. I just finished finding the derivitive of an arcsin. I don’t know what I’m doing, my teacher is fresh out of college and has no idea what he’s doing. Do any of you crazy BC people have advice?</p>

19

<p>self teach. with a good math book, you really don’t need a teacher. at least i dont. i recommend “Understanding Pure Mathematics”. It’s my IB math HL bible, and honestly i just read it while the teacher lectures sometimes cause its a lot more concise and organized.</p>

<p>I was thinking about buying Barron’s, I’ve heard the brand was good. The only problem is that I need someone to explain things to me when I get stuck.</p>
