From one of today’s most accomplished and trusted mathematics authors comes a new textbook that offers unmatched support for students facing the AP® calculus exam, and the teachers helping them prepare for it.

Sullivan and Miranda’s Calculus for the AP® Course covers every Big Idea, Essential Knowledge statement, Learning Objective, and Math Practice described in the 2016-2017 redesigned College Board™ Curriculum Framework. Its concise, focused narrative and integrated conceptual and problem-solving tools give students just the help they need as they learn calculus and prepare for the redesigned AP® Exam.

Features

Features
Chapter Projects
Introduced at the opening of each chapter and are revisited at the end, these projects relate calculus to everyday life and provide students with a chance to apply the math they are learning.

Learning Objectives
Each section begins with a point-by-point listing of the important concepts students need to take away.

Examples with Worked Solutions
Hundreds of examples with fully detailed solutions give students clear guidance for applying essential concepts to solving problems.

Sullivan’s Trademark “Now Work” Examples
Students working through the exercise in each example are directed to problems in the section exercise set that require the same type of work to solve, for immediate reinforcement and extra practice. This acclaimed feature, a hallmark of Sullivan textbooks, recognizes that many students begin with the exercises and seek help only as needed, providing a backwards/forwards navigation system that guides students from exercise to example and vice-versa. 

Effective Art Program
      • Consistent color usage in the book’s graphics help students to visualize and understand concepts
      • Dynamic Figures (available online) illustrate the principles of calculus in an interactive format that allows students to manipulate variables and gauge the results.

Videos from Experienced AP© Teachers
These videos provide additional “just-in-time” help by walking students step-by-step through key examples, exercises, and concepts. 

Integrated Margin Tips
      • AP® EXAM INSIGHTS: Contain tips and suggestions based on the redesigned curriculum framework to help students see how the text prepares for the exam.
      • NEED TO REVIEW: offers just in time review of prior topics that students need to know to learn new content

End-of-Section Practice Problems:
      • Concepts and Vocabulary—a chance to review comprehension of the main points with these fill in the blank, multiple choice and true/false questions
      • Skill Building – provided to help students develop problem-solving and computational skills
      • Applications and Extensions –a diverse set of problems that put calculus in real-world contexts
