AP Calculus AB, also called AB Calc, is an advanced placement calculus exam taken by some United States high school students. It comes after Precalculus, which is known as Introduction to Analysis in some places, and is the first calculus course offered at most schools. An AP Calculus AB course is typically equivalent to one semester of college calculus. The material includes limits, differentiation, integration, applications of the previous, and other topics covered in standard college calculus courses.

AP Calculus BC, sometimes called BC Calc, includes all of the topics in AP Calculus AB, as well as convergence tests for series, Taylor and/or Maclaurin series, parametric, vector, polar functions, and curve length. In addition, L'Hôpital's rule, improper integrals, and using partial fractions to integrate rational functions are commonly taught in this course. Students in AP Calculus BC generally receive two semesters of Advanced Placement in mathematics.
