1 AP Calculus AB Syllabus Course Overview and Philosophy This course is designed to be the equivalent of a college-level course in single variable calculus. The primary textbook is Calculus of a Single Variable, 7 th edition, by Ron Larson, Robert P. Hostetler, and Bruce H. Edwards; copyright 2002 by Houghton Mifflin Company. The main focus of this course is to develop the students understanding of the concepts of calculus and to provide experience with its methods and applications. The course emphasizes a multirepresentational approach to calculus, with concepts, results, and problems being expressed graphically, numerically, analytically, and verbally. The connections among these representations also are important. Graphing Calculator Technology An approved graphing calculator is required for this course. I recommend either the TI- 83, TI-83plus, or TI-89. Teacher and students will use the calculator as a tool to illustrate ideas and topics. I stress the four required functionalities of graphing technology: 1) Finding a root. 2) Sketching a function in a specified window. 3) Approximating the derivative at a point using numerical methods. 4) Approximating the value of a definite integral using numerical methods. Technology will be used regularly by students and teacher to reinforce the relationships among the multiple representations of functions, to confirm written work, to implement experimentation, and to assist in interpreting results. Multiple Representations/Communication Teacher and students will work with functions representing them graphically, numerically, analytically, and verbally and make connections between these representations. v(t) (1,1) t (2,-1) For example, in the function above if v(t) represents the velocity of an object in miles per
2 hour at any time t, and t represents the number of hours, then the time at which the object returns to its original position for 0 t 3 can be represented geometrically as the time when the area of the triangle in the first quadrant is equal to the area of the trapezoid in the fourth quadrant or as the value of x where when t 2. 5 hours. 0 x v( t) dt 0. In either case, the answer is Students will be encouraged to work together and explain solutions and variations in problem solving techniques with their classmates using proper vocabulary and terms. Often, students will work together in groups and present their conclusions in a single paper that is graded based upon the correctness of the mathematics and the quality of the presentation. Group Work and Experimentation At times students will work together in labs designed for them to learn through collaboration and discovery. Some labs will require the use of technology. *In one lab, students will graph y sin x in a standard trigonometric viewing window. Estimate the slope of the tangent line at various x-values and plot the slope values as a function of x on the overhead screen. (The slope values are clearly zero at the turning points and can be estimated to be +1 or -1 at the x-intercepts. A few more estimates will enable students to guess the curve.) Students should see that the slope curve follows the path of the cosine function. To test this conjecture, graph the numerical derivative of the sine in the same window. Then graph the cosine function and note that the two graphs are superimposed. Tracing gives the same values on both curves. From this point it is d easy to proceed to an analytic proof of (sin x) cosx. dx 2 *In another lab, students will calculate the approximate area under the curve f ( x) x in the first quadrant on the interval [0, 10] using both inscribed and circumscribed rectangles. They will start by using two rectangles, then five, then 10, and so on. They will keep a record of the areas of both the lower and upper sums. Students should agree that as the number of rectangles increases, the area obtained gets closer to the area under the curve. Students should also agree that the exact area under the curve should lie somewhere between the upper and lower sum for any given number of rectangles. Through careful investigation and observation, students eventually use sigma notation to 1000 set up and solve for the exact area under the curve,, by taking the limit as the 3 number of rectangles approaches infinity. Answers will be checked by using the graphing calculator to obtain the approximate area This will eventually lead into the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, where students can verify that the area is x 1000 x dx
3 Course Sequence (The timeline for this course will depend upon individual student classes. However, it is tentatively planned that we will cover all chapters leading up to chapter 4 and even start chapter 4 by the end of the first semester.
