MY CLASSROOM
The class I teach are at a college level and are equivalent to math courses that a student might take at college. There are daily assignments for these classes which will require plenty of time outside of the classroom. The grades for these courses rely more on the tests than they have in previous math classes. Precalculus, and AP calculus should prepare students for what they will need to know and what will be expected of them in college math courses. Always come in for help or contact me for anything.
COURSES
Precalculus - This course covers graphing and solving equations of various functions and other math topics such as trigonometry, sequence and series, polar coordinates, conic sections, and vectors. AP Calculus AB - This course covers the topics of limits, derivative, integrals and differential equations that are covered in a college Calculus I course. AP Calculus BC - This course covers the topics of limits, derivatives, integrals, differential equations and infinite series that are covered in a college Calculus I and II courses.
