George Washington Carver High School of Engineering and Science 2015 Summer Enrichment AP BC CALCULUS Due Wednesday September 16th This summer assignment requires you to review AB calculus so that you will not need to review all of these topics in depth during the school year. Included in this packet, you will find two full-length AB AP practice exams. At the end of the exams are the solutions because if you get something wrong, you need to spend time trying to learn how to do it correctly. Your project is to complete both exams in detail. SHOW ALL WORK (you can do the work on notebook paper) and clearly number all problems. If there is no work to be shown (i.e. a multiple-choice problem that says "for which function is f(-x) = -f(x)"...the answer is just whichever function listed is ODD...so you would just pick the odd fxn...no work to show) then explain your UNDERSTANDING (i.e. exactly as I just did in the last set of parentheses.) When school starts, we will spend a few days going over these exams. Afterwards, you will spend approximately 3 days taking a full-length AP AB Exam that will count as a test. This is so that I can assess where you stand with regards to the AB content before we proceed to BC. The BC exam has many, many AB questions...so you need to be performing very well on AB material before we learn the handful of BC topics. Though there are very few topics in BC, they are complex and very abstract. BC BOOTCAMP: What? We will work on questions from the summer project to make sure that your understanding of AB topics is thorough. The goal is also to “jump start” your brain out of “summer mode.” When? Monday-Thursday from Monday August 17th to Thursday August 27th. We will be meeting from 12:30PM-2:00PM (right after most sports practices end). Where? Likely in Room 145 (but I'm not 100% sure about the room.) What do Bring your summer projects, a notebook/paper, writing utensils, your I bring? noggin, and a graphing calculator.
