AP CALCULUS AB
The problems in this packet are intended to review what you should already know from previous classes, not to
teach you new information. The skills selected are those frequently used in calculus. You should attempt every
problem. Spread the work out over the summer. If you get stuck you might try an algebra 2 or precalculus review
book. You may also email me, Mrs. Marotte at amarotte@pasco.k12.fl.us, type APCALC in the subject line and
please identify yourself by name in the email. This is due the first day of class.
