Synopsis:

Calculus for AP is designed specifically for the AP Curriculum Framework and exam. For the first time, Ron Larson has partnered with an AP Calculus teacher to develop a program that meets the needs of the AP Calculus course while helping students develop mathematical knowledge conceptually. With a clear focus on course demands, Calculus for AP introduces content in the sequence most preferred by AP Calculus teachers, resulting in more complete content coverage.
