📚 The 4 Big Ideas of AP Calculus AB
🔄 Big Idea 1: Change (CHA)
Change is a fundamental concept in calculus; derivatives describe instantaneous rates of change and slopes of tangent lines.
🎯 Big Idea 2: Limits (LIM)
Limits are the foundation of calculus; they define continuity, derivatives, and integrals through precise mathematical reasoning.
📊 Big Idea 3: Analysis of Functions (FUN)
Functions can be analyzed using calculus tools to understand behavior, extrema, concavity, and optimization.
∫ Big Idea 4: Integration & Accumulation (INT)
Integration accumulates change; the Fundamental Theorem connects derivatives and integrals as inverse processes.
