About

This series will provide an introduction to each of the units of the AP Calculus AB curriculum in preparation for the upcoming school year. It will be quite fast-paced in order to cover the entire course, and it is not expected that learners will fully understand everything. The goal is for learners to be familiar with concepts that they will be exposed to during the school year. The series will assume a solid foundation in precalculus, but no prior knowledge of calculus is required. Sessions will be on Sundays with occasional Wednesday sessions at 3:15 PM GMT (11:15 AM EST, 8:45 PM IST, 4:15 PM BST).
