It is expected that students who take an AP course in calculus will seek college credit, college placement, or both, from institutions of higher learning. The AP Program includes specifications for two calculus courses and the exam for each course. The two courses and the two corresponding exams are designated as Calculus AB and Calculus BC.
Interested students in 5th to 7th grade are eligible to take a qualifying exam in April. Students who pass the qualifying exam are invited to enroll in UMTYMP's Algebra I/II class in the fall or may defer their enrollment for a year. Non-UMTYMP students in 7th to 10th grade may take an entrance exam to begin the calculus component.
[5] Formerly, students would begin the year in Math 25 (which was created in 1983 as a lower-level Math 55) and, after three weeks of point-set topology and special topics (for instance, in 1994, p-adic analysis was taught by Wilfried Schmid), students would take a quiz. As of 2012, students may choose to enroll in either Math 25 or Math 55 but ...
Mathematician George F. Simmons wrote in the algebra section of his book Precalculus Mathematics in a Nutshell (1981) that the New Math produced students who had "heard of the commutative law, but did not know the multiplication table." [205] By the early 1970s, this movement was defeated. Nevertheless, some of the ideas it promoted still lived on.
The American Invitational Mathematics Examination (AIME) is a selective and prestigious 15-question 3-hour test given since 1983 to those who rank in the top 5% on the AMC 12 high school mathematics examination (formerly known as the AHSME), and starting in 2010, those who rank in the top 2.5% on the AMC 10. Two different versions of the test ...
Grades 2 through 8 tests cover mathematics and English/language arts (which includes writing in grades 4 and 7). Grades 9 through 11 cover English/language arts, mathematics, and science. History-social science tests are added for grades 8, 10 and 11 as well as science for grades 5 and 8. Except for writing, all questions are multiple-choice.
Students are invited to either the Senior, Intermediate, or Junior Stream. At this school, the Senior students take Team Selection Tests (consisting of 12 questions with 3 in each 4.5-hour test) and 6 students plus one reserve are selected for the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO).
the AMC 10, for students under the age of 17.5 and in grades 10 and below; the AMC 12, for students under the age of 19.5 and in grades 12 and below [2] The AMC 8 tests mathematics through the 8th grade curriculum. [1] Similarly, the AMC 10 and AMC 12 test mathematics through the 10th and 12th grade curriculum, respectively. [2]
