Calculus B
Why This Class
As they reach the end of high school, your student is almost ready to apply their years of education to life as an adult. This course combines all those years of math learning and helps your student connect complex math concepts to the real world—transcending their current understanding.
Specifically, students in this self-paced course apply definite integrals to calculate the areas under curves and explore real-life applications of physics and statistics. They learn the differentiation and integration of transcendental functions by exploring logarithmic, exponential, and trigonometric functions. Students also fine-tune their understanding of integration techniques and begin the study of infinite series and sequences.
By the end of this course, students have a solid foundation in calculus and are ready for their next level—whether that’s college mathematics or simply applying their current knowledge and critical thinking skills to adult life.
