AP Calculus

Advanced high school mathematics

AP Calculus is a high school mathematics course designed to prepare students for the College Board's Advanced Placement exam, which can earn college credit.

The curriculum covers limits, derivatives, and integrals—the foundations of calculus.

Two versions exist: AB covers roughly one semester of college calculus, while BC covers two semesters and includes additional topics like series and parametric equations.
