Prospective BC Calculus Students
May 11, 2019
Dear Prospective BC Calculus Student,
I am excited that you are choosing to challenge yourself by taking Advanced Placement BC Calculus for the 2018-2019 school year. Here at Lamar High School, my AP Calculus students have done well on the national exam each May, gaining valuable college credit (at least 8 college credits!=$3200.) I expect the same level of excellence from you. We will start the first day of school learning Calculus. Please be ready day one for a short test over your Precalculus course from last year.
You will need to visit my website http://lamargstephens.weebly.com/. I will post a summer assignment along with some information that you will be responsible for, including Chapter 1 of the Calculus Text, Parent Function Packet, & Stuff You Should Know from Precalculus. Be aware that you will not be able to use a calculator for much of this course. We will do a lot of work and we will move fast.
Taking BC Calculus will increase the competitiveness of your college application. Also, learning Calculus is a beneficial skill for thousands of careers and is even a requirement for some.
I look forward to meeting you and being your teacher. Have a great summer and I will see you in the fall.
Respectfully,
Mr. Gordon M Stephens
