P-CEP Mathematics From: P-CEP Mathematics Department To: Future AP Calculus BC students Re: AP Calculus BC Summer Packet Dear future AP Calculus BC student: There are certain math skills that have been taught to you over the previous years that are necessary to be successful in calculus. If you do not have these skills, you will consistently struggle to correctly solve problems net year, even though you understand the calculus concepts. It is frustrating for students when they are doing calculus but are tripped up by the algebra. This summer packet is intended to help you brush up on and possibly relearn these topics. On the following pages are problems from many different important topics. All problems should be done on a separate sheet of paper, in order, and all necessary work must be shown. Your work will be due on the first day of class and will be graded as a 0-point quiz. To make the most of this packet and to start the semester off right, we recommend you spend some quality time with the packet this summer. Do not try to finish it before school is out for the summer we want the topics to be fresh in your minds in the fall! Do not attempt to do it all the night before the first day of classes you will find it a daunting task! We also recommend that you do not rely on your calculator. Almost all problems should be possible to solve using paper, pencil and your brain. Another don t don t fake your way through these problems. If you find yourself needing some assistance, please go to one of the websites listed below. In some cases, these sites have full instructions on certain techniques. We cannot emphasize enough that prospective AP Calculus AB students are notoriously weak on these topics, even students who have been very successful in their other math classes. Use the websites.
