[quote=Anonymous]You need calc 2. I cannot imagine only a very top student, like Olympiad level, being able to jump into calculus 3 without having the foundation of calculus 2. I am in the minority but in an ideal world I would actually like students to take Calc 2 after BC because I think the AP curriculum gives short shrift to certain Calc 2 topics. Series are usually stuffed in at the end. volumes of rotating solids is another topic that is very difficult to grasp for many students and a full semester of Calc 2 allows more time to be spent on these topics. The vector materials of Calc 3 seems deceptively easy but the rest of the course starts to really build upon the previous calc courses. Your student could look at the MIT opencourseware calculus 3 materials and decide for themselves. They have covered a lot of AB at this point. Do the first few problem sets of the MIT OCW look doable? Does your student understand what is going on?[/quote]
