AP Calculus AB Summer Assignment 2014I2015 AP Calculus AB Summer Assignments, Expectations & Timeline • 3 assignments: o Review of Algebra, Geometry & Trigonometry Worksheet Packet ! Going into AP Calculus, there are certain math skills necessary in order to be successful for the year and ultimately on the AP exam. This assignment has been designed for you to review/relearn/learn those topics so that you will be ready to learn calculus. I have included websites to refer to if you need help. ! Don’t fake your way through any of these problems because you will need to understand everything in this very well. If you do not fully understand the topics in this packet, it is possible that you will get calculus problems wrong in the future I not because you do not understand the calculus concept, but because you do not understand the algebra or trigonometry behind it. ! We will go over the packet during the first summer meeting, but cannot cover all of the material so do not depend on the review to learn everything. ! For this packet, you must show all of your work (on separate sheets if necessary) and do not rely on a calculator to do all of the work for you. Half of the AP exam does not allow any calculator at all. ! Help sites: 1. Most Algebra Topics: http://www.purplemath.com/modules/index.htm 2.
