Mr. Sturtevant's AP Calculus Pages

 

Being successful in Calculus at the high school level requires a great deal of dedication.  Students must be willing to put forth their absolute best effort at all times.  It requires students to devote a great deal of time to practice and studying as well as risk-taking.  It is often said that "the best way to learn something is to teach it to someone else".  We will embrace that philosophy in this course, so be prepared to spend time at the board demonstrating solutions and working in small groups.

There are a great deal of resources available on the web for the calculus student.  There is not enough time in class during the school year for us to take advantage of all of the available tools, so the below information is provided to you as a resource for your "out-of-class" studying and discovery.  If you find more/better resources than those below, let me know so that I can incorporate them.  Also let me know if any of the links are not useful, so that they may be removed.  This is a living site .. it will only improve over time through increased usage by students.

Happy exploring and welcome to AP Calculus at Kentlake!!!

The most important piece of information for any Calculus Student is the official College Board Course Description:
