The list below represents examples of textbooks that meet the curricular requirements of AP Calculus AB and BC. The list below is not exhaustive and the texts listed should not be regarded as endorsed, authorized, recommended, or approved by the College Board. Not using a book from this list does not mean that a course will not receive authorization. Syllabi submitted as part of the AP Course Audit process will be evaluated holistically, with textbooks considered along with supplementary, supporting resources to confirm that the course as a whole provides students with the content delineated in the curricular requirements of the AP Course Audit. For discussions of the usefulness of these texts and other teaching materials in the AP Calculus classroom, please consult the Teachers' Resources section of AP Central.
