Outcomes, not lecture notes.
Evaluate limits using direct substitution, factoring, and rationalization
Read limits from graphs, including one-sided limits and points of discontinuity
Determine when a limit does not exist and explain why
Build and interpret numerical tables to approximate limits near a specific point
Apply limit laws (sum, difference, product, quotient, and power rules) to complex expressions
Evaluate limits as x approaches infinity and connect them to horizontal asymptotes
Solve trigonometric limits using the unit circle and special limits like sin(x)/x → 1
Tackle AP Calculus-style multiple choice questions involving limits accurately and efficiently

Brian
Hundreds of high school students have Brian Ding to thank for their college credits and acceptances. After all, Brian has taught every AP math and computer science class, in addition to serving as an AP computer science reader and grader, and a computer science instructor at Johns Hopkins. In his continued efforts to bring engaging STEM instruction to the masses, Brian even installed an e-Glass enabled teaching studio in his home–which he debuted to rave reviews for Varsity Tutors students and where he continues to help students ace their APs and learn to love math and computer science.
AP Calculus starts with limits — and if you don't have them down cold, the rest of the course will feel like quicksand. Jump Start to AP Calculus gives students a head start by building a rock-solid foundation in limits before the school year even begins. Through graphical, numerical, and algebraic approaches, you'll learn to evaluate limits from multiple angles, tackle tricky trigonometric and infinite limits, and work through real AP-style multiple choice questions with confidence. Whether you're nervous about Calculus AB or just want to walk into class ahead of the curve, this course gets you ready.
