During the first semester, most of the topics in this course extend concepts of single-variable calculus to functions with more than one independent variable. The course will cover the topics of polar and parametric equations, followed by a thorough study of vectors and the geometry of space and surfaces in space. Other topics include differentiation and integration of vector-valued functions, rates of change and extrema of functions of several variables, and multiple integration. During the second semester students will explore statistics in a deeper, calculus- based approach that will still prepare the student for the AP Statistics exam.
