Calculus Honors

CALCULUS HONORS (413520HW)

Semester Course (1 unit)

Prerequisite: Precalculus

NCAA Core GPA Approved

Concepts of differential and integral calculus will be studied. Topics studied include particle motion, velocity, acceleration, maximum and minimum problems, related rates, definite and indefinite integrals, and mathematical modeling based on real world data. This course will emphasize the applications of calculus.

Graphing calculators will be used extensively and students should have their own graphing calculator. If purchasing a calculator, the TI-84 contains the features needed for all courses except AP Calculus or AP Statistics. This is also the calculator used for demonstration purposes in classes. Students will not be allowed to use a TI-89, TI-92, TI-Nspire CAS or other comparable calculators that utilize symbolic manipulation. Only AP courses use the Nspire-CAS calculator.

Calculator rentals are available through the math department. See a math teacher for questions.
