About
Are you interested in calculus? Do you find math interesting? Or are you taking AP Calculus AB/BC next year? In this series, I want to dive into derivatives and what they are, explaining the first 5 units of AP Calculus. I will be explaining the different notations associated with derivatives, how they can be used to describe functions, and how we can apply them to real life problems. Throughout each session, we will be completing a variety of practice problems to familiarize ourselves with the concepts. These sessions are meant to be fun and introduce you to the world of calculus, regardless of how you plan to use it. These sessions will also be happening in the evening. Let me know if this time doesn't work and I will try to adjust!
Note: I received a 5 on my AP Calculus BC exam with a 5 subscore for the AB exam. I'd love to share some tips and tricks with studying and solving various problems!

In this session, I just want to explore how we can further apply calculus. Whether you are taking economics or physics, it is very interesting to explore how we can use calculus to better understand the concepts in the classes or explore concepts in greater depth.
