About

We will be thoroughly going over every unit from AP Calculus AB/BC. Keep in mind, AP Calculus AB & BC have the same lessons and content, excluding Unit 9 & 10 which aren't offered for AP Calculus AB.

We will provide ample problems and examples. Slideshows are available online in the drive:
https://drive.google.com/drive/u/1/folders/1gsUKkR2I8HWGUFqp4Hb9q6pU3rfJYthB
Content in the slides may be added throughout the sessions as applicable. Additionally, we host schoolhouse.world practice problem-sets to further check your understanding.

With a mix of independent work and avid participation throughout our series, you will walk out of this series with a guaranteed 5 and a love for Calculus!

I am a senior enrolled in a public high school, open to assisting others in analytical subjects related to math or physics. I enjoy helping others understand challenging concepts and am always open to answering questions or providing guidance in problem-solving. I engage in activities like ATV riding or small projects related to computer science. Feel free to contact me with any inquiries or questions!

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

Given the relatively short amount of time per session in every accompanying unit, each session is quite comprehensive, and it is highly recommended that you attend every session as they build upon one another.

However, we understand that there are circumstances where you must miss a session which is why our drive is public for you to independently catch-up on. Nonetheless, if this case applies to you, please contact the host (and co-host) informing us of your absence. Failure to do so will result in an unexcused absence and could result in a withdrawal if one would to accumulate at least two of these absences.

Communication is key and you registering for this series is taking the first step in trying to learn Calculus. You must put in the effort and attending these classes is just one of many steps to ensure a greater understanding and subsequent greater score for your AP test (if you so choose to take it).

Integration and accumulation of change

Integration and accumulation of change

Sun 1:00 AM - 3:00 AM UTCOct 20, 1:00 AM - 3:00 AM UTC

We will learn something other than derivatives, integrals! These can sometimes be beasts, but they are super fun to solve!

SESSION 7

Differential equations

Differential equations

Sun 1:00 AM - 3:00 AM UTCOct 27, 1:00 AM - 3:00 AM UTC
