Advanced Placement Calculus is not College Calculus

Nonpartisan Education Review, 2018, vol. 14, issue 5, 1-2

Abstract: The bottom line is that AP Calculus AB is supposed to be "equivalent" to a first semester college Calculus course. The wrong-headed view that graphing calculators and Calculus are inseparable means that many, if not most, college Calculus I courses would not meet the standards of the AP audit to be allowed to be called AP Calculus. It is inappropriate for high school Calculus to attempt to redefine the collegiate version of Calculus. This contradicts the College Board's intention that AP Calculus is equivalent to college Calculus.
