AP Calculus AB (103173/203173)
Grades 9-12
Full year 1.0 credit
Meets NCAA requirements
Students must have completed Precalculus to be enrolled in this course. AP Calculus AB is an advanced placement course designed
for students with a very strong aptitude for mathematics. An Advanced Placement test is made available to place out of one semester
of college calculus. The course includes limits, and differential and integral calculus with special emphasis on applications. *Students
should have a working knowledge of the graphing calculator to include graphing with arbitrary windows and finding zeroes of a
function.
AP Calculus BC (103203/203203)
Grades 9-12
Full year 1.0 credit
Meets NCAA Requirements
Students must have completed Precalculus to be enrolled in this course. AP Calculus BC is a full-year course that includes both
differential and integral calculus. It includes all topics covered in AP Calculus AB plus additional topics including sequences and
series, polar and parametric functions. It is expected that students take the AP Calculus test and attempt to place out of two semesters
of college calculus. *Students should have a working knowledge of the graphing calculator to include graphing with arbitrary
windows and finding zeroes of a function.
AP Statistics (103213/203213)
Grades 10-12
Full year 1.0 credit
Meets NCAA requirements
Students must have completed Algebra 2 to be enrolled in this course. AP Statistics is a full year Advanced Placement course for
students who wish to complete the equivalent of a one-semester, non-calculus-based college course in statistics. Students will be
exposed to four broad conceptual themes: exploring data, planning a study, anticipating patterns using probability and simulations, and
statistical inference, as they prepare for the advanced placement exam. Computers and graphing calculators will be used as statistical
tools.
Calculus 3 (Dual Enrollment/Lawrence Tech) (003212)
Grades 11-12
1 semester 0.5 Credit
Meets NCAA requirements
This course requires successful completion of AP Calculus BC. Content includes polar coordinates, three-dimensional analytic
geometry, vectors, vector valued functions, motions in space, functions of several variables, partial differentiation, multiple integrals,
and integration in vector fields.
Linear Algebra (Dual Enrollment/Lawrence Tech) (003222)
Grades 11-12
1 semester 0.5 credit
Meets NCAA requirements
This course follows the Calculus 3 course sequence and requires completion of Calculus 3. Topics include systems of linear equations,
matrices, determinants, eigenvalues, eigenvectors, finite-dimensional vector spaces, linear transformations and their matrices, GramSchmidt orthogonalization, inner product spaces.
AP Computer Science A (103163/203163)
Grades 9-12
Full year 1.0 credit
Students must complete Algebra 1 to be enrolled in this course. No programming experience is required, but this course requires a
strong foundation in logical thinking and problem solving. Students will learn to design and implement computer programs that solve
problems relevant to today’s society, including art, media, and engineering. AP Computer Science A teaches object-oriented
programming using the Java language and is meant to be the equivalent of a first semester, college-level course in computer science. It
will emphasize problem solving and algorithm development and use hands-on experiences and examples so that students can apply
programming tools and solve complex problems. This course will prepare students for the end-of-course AP Computer Science A
Exam.
