 \n## To the Student:\n\nPicture a block of Swiss cheese.It is filledwith holes and yet it stays in one piece.But this block has to be cut into slices.Ifthere are too many holes,the slice willsimply fall apart.  \nSo it is with calculus.The AP Calculuscourse you are about to take is based on  \nyour foundation in mathematics-all the math that you have ever learned will come into play in this course.Ifyou are taking calculus,it is possible that some of that material you knew fairly well at one time,butunfortunately,without everyday use,you just plain forget it.It is also possible that you never really learned it atall.  \nWhen you start your AP Calculus course,teachers make the assumption that you have mastered a lot ofmathematics and techniques that you need to know are part of you.But it is a bad assumption and worse,a lotof teachers know it.In the past,teachers would start a new year by reviewing and getting everyone'sknowledge at the same level.But in calculus,there is smply not enough time to spend time in review  \nSo teachers teach AP Calculus knowing that there are extreme deficiencies in their student's math skills.And ifthe deficiencies are serious,the entire year crumbles like a piece of Swiss cheese with too many holes -holesin mathematical knowledge!  \nSo what is the answer?Review all the math you have ever had?No,tlhat just takes too long and who reallycares enough to do that.  \nSo this booklet contains all the material from precalculus that you really need to know going into AP calculus.Itdoes not necessarily review the most difficult concepts of precalculus,but it takes the concepts that were inprecalculus and are quite likely to show up in AP Calculus and teaches you,once and for all,to handle problemsusing those concepts.  \nFor instance,the concept of complex fractions,fractions within fractions,usually only show up in precalculuswhen you are studying that concept.They rarely show up in word problems or in any other context.So youlearn them when you need them,and you forget them 10 minutes after the test.  \nBut in AP calculus,complex fractions occur fairly frequently Calculus is hard enough and if you lose points ona problem,you want it to be because you had a conceptual issue with the calculus topic,not because yourknowledge of precalculus,specifically complex fractions,was faulty.  \nSo this booklet contains just those concepts that are important for you in learning AP calculus.Topics like theconic sections,imaginary numbers,and finding rational zeros of functions,while important in precalculus,arerarely used in AP Calculus so they aren't included in this booklet.  \nYou can be sure that if you review and master all the topics in this booklet,you are well on your way to doingwell in AP Calculus.The reason is that many students worldwide struggle in AP calculus because theirprecalculus abilities are not good.Spending about eight hours on this booklet in total insures that is not going tohappen to you!  \nRU Ready?  \nLet's talk about your calculus course.You are taking an Advanced Placement Calculus course.It is either ABCalculus or BC Calculus.Let's understand what these unusual names mean.The A.P Calculus program startedin the year 1956.T","cbCaigJPWvnUdopm","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigJPWvnUdopm","pdf",2088834,48,"English","# Topics\n## A.
