About
From someone who got an 5 on AP Calculus (me :D), you will learn all the techniques you will use in AP Calculus and some conceptual Calculus. The main focus here is to better understand non-Calculus concepts that aren’t heavily covered in school that are used in Calculus while also learning Calculus basics. Here, we will do formula derivations and intuition building so you have a strong foundation for the school year in AP Calculus!

SESSION 1
AP Calculus
AP Calculus
Sat 12:00 AM - 1:30 AM UTCAug 2, 12:00 AM - 1:30 AM UTC
In this session, we will do some orientation and get to know each other! As a refresher, we will do a brief review of algebraic evaluation and graph reading. We will derive algebraic formulas (such as the quadratic formula), and we will go over algebraic manipulation. We will go over graph reading and how to identify graph features, such as slope and concavity.

SESSION 2
AP Calculus
AP Calculus
Sun 12:00 AM - 1:30 AM UTCAug 3, 12:00 AM - 1:30 AM UTC
In this session, we will go over the notion of a limit and techniques to evaluate them algebraically. We will also go over continuity, differentiability, and discontinuity. We will also see algebraically why certain discontinuities exist.

AP Calculus
Sat 12:00 AM - 1:30 AM UTCAug 9, 12:00 AM - 1:30 AM UTC
In this session, we will go over the notion of a derivative. We will also derive limit-based definitions of a derivative. We will go over how to use the derivative to make conclusions about functions, and we will build intuition with real life scenarios. This will be more of a thinking exercise, so we will not be going over derivative rules or evaluating derivatives.

Sun 12:00 AM - 1:30 AM UTCAug 10, 12:00 AM - 1:30 AM UTC
In this session, we will go over the Squeeze Theorem, Mean Value Theorem, Intermediate Value Theorem, Extreme Value Theorem, and Rolle’s Theorem. This gets into higher-level considerations of continuity and function analysis. We will derive these theorems to build intuition, formally define them, and understand when to use them.

AP Calculus
Sat 12:00 AM - 1:30 AM UTCAug 16, 12:00 AM - 1:30 AM UTC
In this session, we will go over trigonometric functions and identities. We will derive these identities to help build intuition. We will also go over when to apply them in a Calculus context. This is meant to be a thought exercise, so once the trigonometric manipulation is complete, we will not evaluate derivates or integrals. This is to help recognize when and how to manipulate trigonometric functions.

AP Calculus
Sun 12:00 AM - 1:30 AM UTCAug 17, 12:00 AM - 1:30 AM UTC
In this session, we will go over the notion of an integral and how it relates to the derivative. We will also derive limit-based definitions of an integral. We will go over how to use integrals to make conclusions about functions, and we will go over real life scenarios to build intuition about the integral. This is more of a thinking exercise, so we will not be going over integral rules or evaluating integrals.
