Lawrence Woodmere Academy AP Calculus AB Dear AP Calculus AB Student, Welcome to the fun and exciting world of AP Calculus AB. In the upcoming school year, we will be using the concepts that you previously learned in integrated algebra, geometry, algebra II, trigonometry and pre-calculus to expand your knowledge into the world Calculus. To be able to move forward in AB Calculus, you must have a strong foundation in trigonometry, concepts involving functions, and be able to create models from word problems. This summer assignment is designed to allow you to continue to practice these skills and concepts throughout the time that school is not in session. The AP Calculus AB Summer Assignment packet will not require a lot of time, but it is lengthy enough that you will want to manage your time appropriately. The whole assignment should not be completed at the end of this school year, but should be worked on all summer to keep the material fresh in your mind. As AP Calculus AB students, you will need to be able to manage your time appropriately. This summer assignment is composed of two sections that review the old material from your years in high school. The first section is a review of trigonometry. Make sure that you make yourself familiar with all the exact values for trigonometric functions on the interval [0,π]. There is a NO calculator section on the AP and you must have these values memorized. The second section focuses on a review of functions and modeling. You are expected to answer all questions on a separate sheet of paper and hand in the assignment on the first day of school. All work must be shown for each of the questions and you must provide explanations for all multiple choice questions. It s not sufficient enough to get the right answer, but you must be able to explain your answer as well. The assignment will be graded for completion and effort. You should also get the required supplies for the course which includes graph paper, notebook, pencil, and a TI-83 or TI-84. You may also want to go to a bookstore this summer and pick up an AP preparation guide for the AP exam (I recommend Baron s). If you have any questions, do not hesitate to e-mail me over the summer at dearley@lawrencewoodmere.org Again, welcome to AP Calculus AB! Good luck and I look forward to seeing you in September. Sincerely, Mrs. Danielle Earley dearley@lawrencewoodmere.org
