This course is for learners who demonstrate a solid foundation in basic algebra and sufficient interest to explore statistics as a tool in causal analysis and research. The course is a problem-based exploration course that consists of four themes: exploring data, sampling and experimentation, probability and simulation, and statistical inference. The first term of the course covers one variable and two variable data, probability, random variables and distributions, and estimating. The topics in the second term include hypothesis testing for one and two sample distributions and regression. Learners use technology, investigations, problem-solving, and writing as they build conceptual understanding. At least one exploration report using statistical methods will be required.

This course emphasizes a multi-representational approach to calculus with concepts, results, and problems represented in a variety of ways: graphical, numerical, analytical, and verbal. The first term of the course covers basic functions and models; limits and continuity; differentiation rules and applications; integrals and application of integration. The second term covers differential equations; parametric equations and polar coordinates; infinite sequences and series; and vector analysis. We will equip you with any necessary training for the AP Calculus BC test and an exploration report about the application of calculus will be required.
