Bert K. Waits

Bert K. Waits

Dr. Bert Waits earned his Ph.D. from The Ohio State University and is currently Professor Emeritus of Mathematics there. Dr. Waits is cofounder of the international Teachers Teaching with Technology (T3) professional development program and has been co-director or principal investigator on several large National Science Foundation projects.

He has published articles in over seventy nationally-recognized professional journals. Dr. Waits frequently has given workshops, invited lectures, and minicourses at national meetings of the MAA and the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics on how to use computer technology to enhance the learning and teaching of mathematics.

Professor Bert is co-recipient of the 1997 Glenn Gilbert National Leadership Award presented by the National Council of Supervisors of Mathematics and is the co-founder (with Frank Demana) of the ICTCM. He is also co-recipient of the 1998 Christofferson-Fawcett Mathematics Education Award presented by the Ohio Council of Teachers of Mathematics. He was one of the six authors of the high school portion of the groundbreaking 1989 NCTM Standards.

Daniel Kennedy

Daniel Kennedy

Dr. Dan Kennedy got his BSc from the College of the Holy Cross and his master’s degree and Ph.D. in math from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Since 1973 he has taught mathematics at the Baylor School in Chattanooga, Tennessee, where he holds the Cartter Lupton Distinguished Professorship. Dan joined the Advanced Placement® (AP) Calculus Test Development Committee in 1986, then in 1990 became the first high school teacher in 35 years to chair that committee.

It was during his tenure as a chair that the program moved to require graphing calculators and laid the early groundwork for the 1998 reform of the AP Calculus curriculum. The author of the 1997 Teacher’s Guide—AP Calculus, Professor Kennedy has conducted over 50 workshops for high school calculus teachers.

Daniel was named a Tandy Technology Scholar in 1992 and a Presidential Award winner in 1995.

Franklin D. Demana

Dr. Franklin Demana earned his master’s degree in mathematics and his Ph.D. from
Michigan State University. Currently, Frank is Professor Emeritus of Mathematics at The Ohio State University. As an active supporter of the use of technology to teach and learn maths, he is co-founder of the international Teachers Teaching with Technology professional development program. Dr. Demana has published a variety of articles in the areas of calculator- and computer-enhanced mathematics instruction.

He is also co-founder of the annual International Conference on Technology in Collegiate Mathematics (ICTCM). Professor Frank is co-recipient of the 1997 Glenn Gilbert National Leadership Award presented by the National Council of Supervisors of Mathematics, and co-recipient of the 1998 Christofferson-Fawcett Mathematics Education Award presented by the Ohio Council of Teachers of Mathematics.

The course AP Calculus AB and BC is now available on MyMathLab for School. The sixth edition of Graphical, Numerical, Algebraic, AP* Edition by Demana, Waits, Kennedy, Bressoud, and Boardman fully aligns with the content, philosophy, and goals of the Advanced Placement (AP*) Calculus courses. The College Board recently conducted a comprehensive review of the AP* Calculus courses to ensure their alignment with other college and university courses. This review resulted in the reorganization of the course descriptions, but the learning goals remained the same, allowing us to maintain the overall flow of the previous edition and focus on providing more effective support to both teachers and students.

The main goals of this text are to help students develop a strong understanding of functions in various representations, utilize graphing calculators as a tool for problem-solving, comprehend the meaning and applications of derivatives and integrals, apply calculus in real-world scenarios, and effectively communicate mathematical solutions. Additionally, this text covers topics such as differential equations, series convergence, motion in the plane, and polar curves to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of calculus.

In this new edition, we are thrilled to welcome Michael Boardman to our author team. With his extensive experience in the AP program and deep knowledge of mathematics, Michael brings a unique perspective to the text. He has served as the chief reader of the AP Calculus exams, been involved in the Development Committee and AP Calculus Workgroup for ETS, and founded the online discussion group for AP Calculus teachers. His expertise ensures that this text truly meets the needs of AP teachers and students.

We have made a few global changes to this edition to align with the AP exam format and evolving focus. Multiple-choice questions now present four options instead of five, and we have revised exercises to reflect changes in free-response questions. While the role of graphing calculators remains important, we have revised exercises regarding calculator usage based on feedback from calculus teachers.

Furthermore, we have expanded the treatment of the derivative as a measure of sensitivity and emphasized the concept of local linearity through the point-slope form for linear equations. We have also added two new features in response to the Mathematical Practices for AP Calculus (MPACs): Notational Fluency Notes throughout the text and Reasoning with Definitions and Theorems questions in Chapter Review Exercises.

The motivational “Chapter Opener” problems have been improved, and historical nuggets have been included throughout the book to provide additional context. We have ensured that the content of the new AP Calculus Curriculum Framework is fully covered in this text, and the emphases align with the course objectives.

With this new edition, students will have a comprehensive and engaging resource to support their learning and prepare them for success in the AP Calculus exams. objectives of the AP course, as they have always been.
