• Paul Battaglia

  Paul Battaglia received his B.S. in actuarial science from the Pennsylvania State University. After some time as an actuarial analyst, he began his teaching career in New Jersey. Since doing so, he has spent over 15 years teaching all levels of mathematics, including Advanced Placement Calculus. He was instrumental in beginning the AP Calculus (BC) program at Manasquan High School. Battaglia has been a featured speaker—both in and out of his district—including speaking about his book at the NJEA teacher’s convention and presenting at the AP Annual Conference. His current interests include QR codes in the classroom, integration of tablets and mobile devices for classroom use, and gamification as an assessment model.

• The Table of Contents presents topics in the sequence preferred by most AP® Calculus teachers to meet course demands. Exponential, logarithmic, and inverse trigonometric functions are introduced earlier in the course, allowing for complete coverage of differentiation and a greater variety of applications.

• Mathematical Practices for AP Calculus (MPACs) that are presented in the AP® Curriculum Framework for AP® Calculus AB and BC are represented and clearly labeled in the text, examples, and exercises.

• Calculus AP® Exam Preparation Questions are modeled after the AP® Exam and appear at both the end of section exercises and chapter.

• Insights are AP specific and appear throughout the book to offer important information about material commonly appearing on the AP® Exam.

• Performance Tasks appear at the end of each chapter asking students to demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of chapter content.

• Algebra Review appears throughout each chapter and offers support at point of use.

• Error Analysis Exercises ask students to describe and correct solutions containing common errors.

• Side-By-Side Examples offer solutions to many example problems on the same page allowing students to see a problem more conceptually and learn how different methods yield the same result. Solutions are also presented from multiple perspectives - algebraically, graphically, and numerically.

• LarsonCalculusforAP.com is a free website that includes examples, three-dimensional graphs, review sample scoring for free response questions and access to CalcView.com and CalcChat.com

• The CalcView mobile app contains video solution exercises. Its embedded QR code reader launches videos by scanning on-page QR codes.

• CalcChat.com features live tutoring and worked out solutions; its mobile app provides solutions to odd-numbered exercises.

• Enhanced WebAssign is an easy-to-implement, fully customizable online learning solution. Instructors are enabled to create and deploy assignments and instantly assess student and whole class performance.

• Cognero instant test builder provides additional online assessment support.

Cengage provides a range of supplements that are updated in coordination with the main title selection. For more information about these supplements, contact your Learning Consultant.
