Session II: Calculus AB 

This course examines concepts, topics, instructional strategies, and assessments related to the teaching and learning of AP Calculus. The content described in the College Board 2016–2017 Curriculum Framework will be examined at great length. The topics include differential calculus and its applications (maxima/minima, related rates, and optimization), along with integral calculus and its applications (area, volume, definite integrals and Riemann Sums). In addition, the AP Exams will be analyzed, and strategies for preparing students for the AP Exam will be discussed.

He has been an AP Calculus reader since 2007 and a College Board consultant since 2004, conducting Pre-AP workshops and AP Calculus summer institutes.
