It’s been said that change is the only true constant. Calculus helps make sense of change by grappling with questions that inspire thinkers from around the globe, across time, and in many disciplines. Can change occur in an instant? When is the next solar eclipse or the turning point for an economy? In AP Calculus AB, you’ll develop a deeper understanding of mathematical principles that can help you answer questions such as these.

Have you ever wondered why prices fluctuate for online retailers depending on the time and day? Or why people say, “time is money”? In AP Microeconomics, you’ll explore the answers to these questions as you learn the principles of economics that govern the actions of individuals and businesses. You’ll also explore concepts such as supply and demand, elasticity, and market structures to gain a deeper understanding of how economic decisions shape our world.

Have you ever thought about why you feel the downward pull of Earth but not an upward pull from the Moon? Why throwing a heavy rock forward pushes you backward? Or why the end of a stick swings down faster than a rock that is dropped? In AP Physics C: Mechanics, you’ll explore concepts such as motion, gravitation, momentum, and rotation using conceptual explanations and calculus-based mathematics.

Have you ever wondered if a diamond really is forever? How batteries create electricity from chemical reactions? Or how we know that atoms exist when they’re too small to be seen? In AP Chemistry, you’ll learn to examine the atomic and molecular interactions that result in all the varied materials and changes that you observe daily, as well as how to properly test and analyze errors in an experiment.

Have you ever been curious as to why some objects float while others sink? Why it’s easier to balance on a bicycle when it’s moving fast? Or why it may seem like you’re moving backward when a car passes you on the highway? In AP Physics 1: Algebra-Based, you’ll learn about kinematics, dynamics, and energy through hands-on laboratory work to investigate and answer questions such as these.

Have you ever wondered why the national debt is so large or why interest rates are considered to be so important? You’ll explore the answers to these questions as you learn how the economy works as a whole in AP Macroeconomics. As part of your studies, you’ll use graphs, charts, and data to analyze, describe, and explain economic concepts.

Have you ever wondered how electricity and electromagnetism are used to power the devices and machines you interact with every day? Explore concepts such as electrostatics, conductors, capacitors and dielectrics, electric circuits, magnetic fields, and electromagnetism in AP Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism. You’ll do hands-on laboratory work and in-class activities to investigate phenomena while using calculus to solve problems.
