The second semester involves vectors, graphs, and the conic sections as well as the solutions of linear systems of equations. This course is comparable to calculus courses offered in colleges and universities. Those students who perform well in the AP Exam at the end of the year may qualify for college credits in math. The Advanced Placement Exam is a requirement of the course. AP Calculus is limited to students with high mathematical ability.
Emphasis is on the understanding of the concepts and applications of calculus.
