Welcome 2014-15!
Hi Everyone!
I hope you are all excited to start the school year and begin our journey into the study of Calculus. As you will see shortly, the applications of calculus are limitless (literally) and the underlying theories we will be exposed to are quite elegant.
This course is the equivalent of Calculus I and Calculus II at most undergraduate universities and colleges. That's right, we are a two semester college-level mathematics course. That means we get to study some very exciting mathematics! There will be days you leave class thinking, "wow, that's pretty cool!" and other days thinking, "what in the world is going on?" I will be blunt, this course is challenging and will demand that you put in time and work outside of the classroom - perhaps more than you ever have before. That said, I'm sure you will find the experience quite rewarding just as past students have.
Please bring all necessary items to class on Tuesday (completed summer work for turn-in, pencils, notebook, textbook, graphing calculator) as we will dive right into the course content, picking up with the study of limits. Prior to Tuesday, you will find it helpful to browse the course folder on the BPS website. There is a calendar for September already posted, as well as some friendly advice from a few of last year's students. There are also several links under the "calculus" tab on the right side of the page. One such link is to the College Board website, where you can find a specific course outline for BC Calculus.
I am excited to begin our journey into calculus in a few days! I look forward to seeing you all then!
