Calculus AB tends to be easier due to it being mostly composed of the basic introductory to Calculus. Whereas Calculus BC contains information from AB but as well as further information which could possibly be somewhat more rigorous than AB.
In High School, BC Calculus is an accelerated course in Calculus. It includes a full-year of the college course, while AB includes only half a year's worth. BC tends to move at a much faster pace and covers much more material than AB.
yes it will definitely help you for BC next year.
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.
Well it depends on which calculus class you are longing for. If you want AB Calculus then you are not required to take pre-calculus; however you must finish all of state's required math courses. Which is probably Algebra, geometry, algebra 2/trig.If you want BC calculus, you need Pre calc and all of the required math classes. BC calculus is a lot more difficult and it will require a lot more time after school. If you are not willing to spend as much time as required , dont dare to take it
I don't think they stand for anything. AB just means the first and second parts, and BC is the next parts.
Depending on your school they will go, Applied Geometry (D average or lower), Geometry ( C and above), Problem Solving A (D in geometry), Algebra 2 (C or better in Geometry), Problem solving B (D or lower in Algebra 2), Calculus AB (C or better in Algebra 2) and Calculus BC (requires AB)

High SchoolCalculus AB - Calculus 1Calculus BC - Calculus 1 + part of Calculus 2College:Calculus 1: Single variable calculusCalculus 2: Multi-variable CalculusCalculus 3: Vector CalculusCalculus 4: Differential Equation
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.
yes because ab plus bc is ac
Commutativity.
The courses you can take really depend in the High School you are in (I will assume that you are referring to High School Courses). After algebra, most schools allow Pre Calculus. Pre Calculus is basically just like algebra two, just with more trigonometry and deeper exploration of math. Then, one can take the flower of math, Calculus. In schools that offer Advance Placement (AP) courses, will offer AP Calculus AB and AP Calculus BC. Calculus was divided into parts, here A, B and C. I have heard of a D section, but is not taught in many high schools. Separate from the Calculus course tree we have statistics. One can take statistics, followed by AP Stats. (One might be able to skip statistics should they be competent enough for AP Stats.) There is also a branch of Math called Discrete Mathematics, that concerns mostly on logic, that is separate from other math course tree.There could be other math courses, such as Further Mathematics, but the courses stated above are the most common courses offered.
