Calculus AB is the branch of the calculus curriculum offered by the College Board exam administration. It differs from its counterpart, Calculus BC, in that AB only covers material into a standard "college" introductory calculus course.

Usually, Calculus AB corresponds to a typical university's Calculus I course (or similarly named). In contrast, BC is a more accelerated course which covers material that corresponds to both Calculus I and II. This may vary depending on the university, as some combine both Calculus I and II into one course, in which case AB would only cover one semester of material.


Calculus AB includes content based on limits, continuity, differentiation, integration, the IVT, the MVT, the EVT, and the FTC.

Is calculus 1 the same as calculus ab?

Short answer: They're similar, but Calculus AB covers a bit more (and goes more in-depth) than Calculus 1. Long answer: The AP Calculus AB test covers differentiation (taking derivatives) and early integration (taking antiderivatives), including the concept/applications of an integral and integration by substitution. In college, Calculus 1 covers mostly differentiation and Calculus 2 covers additional strategies for integration and series. I like to think of it like this: A = Differentiation B = Integration C = Series So Calculus AB covers differentiation and integration and Calculus BC covers integration and series. College is more like: Calc 1 = A Calc 2 = B&C Of course, this depends on how much you cover in high school and college.
