Calculus

Calculus is the mathematical study of change, focusing on functions, limits, derivatives, integrals, and infinite series. It is generally taken in the freshman year of college, but at Stuyvesant, students can typically take it as early as junior year by "doubling up" with precalculus. They can choose from three calculus courses, depending on their skill and desire at math, and their grades. They are listed as follows in order of increasing difficulty and depth: Note that with successful completion of either of the latter two and the accompanying AP exam, students can receive college credit.
 * Calculus Applications
 * AP Calculus AB
 * AP Calculus BC

After students take either of the AP Calculus courses, they may take Multivariate Calculus in the fall term of the following year, and Differential Equations in spring.
