About Course
Advanced Placement Calculus (also known as AP Calculus, AP Calc, or simply AB / BC) is a set of two distinct Advanced Placement calculus courses and exams offered by the American not-for-profit organization College Board. AP Calculus AB covers basic introductions to limits, derivatives, and integrals. Learn AP®︎ Calculus BC for free—everything from AP®︎ Calculus AB plus a few extra goodies, such as Taylor series, to prepare you for the AP®︎ test. This is the property of khanacademy.org and is available for free on their website.Topics for this course
