AP Statistics
Grade level(s): Length/Credit: Co-requisite(s): Other information:
9 - 12 full year/two math credits Precalculus or UWHS Math 120 AP exam required; may be taken concurrently with Precalculus or UWHS Math 120; about 2-3 hours of homework per week
This year-long course allows students to study college-level statistics. Course study includes the major concepts and tools for collecting, analyzing and drawing conclusions from data. Students will be introduced to four broad conceptual themes: exploring data, sampling and experimentation, probability and inference. Students will often work on projects involving the hands-on gathering and analysis of real-world data.

GRADES 9 - 12
This year-long course allows students to participate in a college freshman-level math course within the high school. Students enrolling in this course should anticipate the need for substantial independent work. Students study limits and continuity and then proceed to major topics of differential calculus, including differentiation methods, Intermediate and Mean Value Theorems, Rolle’s Theorem, L’Hospital’s Rule, velocity and acceleration, related rates, optimization, curve sketching and Newton’s Method. Major topics in integral calculus include techniques of integration, integration by parts, Fundamental Theorem, area between curves and volumes of solids of revolution.
MATHEMATICS
This course prepares students for the mandatory AP Statistics exam in May. Students enrolling in this course should anticipate the need for substantial independent work. Successful completion of the course and exam may provide students with college credit or advanced standing as college freshmen.
This year-long course allows students to participate in a college freshman-level math course within the high school. Students enrolling in this course should anticipate the need for substantial independent work. Students will be given a thorough review of topics covered in AP Calculus AB (techniques and applications of the derivative, techniques and applications of the definite integral and Fundamental Theorem of Calculus). In addition, topics in differential and integral calculus (including parametric, polar and vector functions), conic sections and infinite series will be covered.
