AP Calculus BC TI-84 Plus CE Program Bundle — Complete Guide

AP Calculus BC can feel overwhelming — especially with infinite series, convergence tests, Taylor/Maclaurin expansions, advanced integrals, and polar/parametric equations all packed into one fast-moving course. After more than 25 years of teaching AP Calculus BC and developing TI-84 programs, I built a complete AP Calculus BC Bundle for TI-84 Plus CE to give students a systematic, confidence-building toolkit they can rely on every day.

This guide walks you through everything included in the bundle — what each program does, how they help with BC topics, and what additional modules are coming soon (included free for all bundle owners).

Why AP Calculus BC Students Struggle

  • Series confusion: “Do I use Ratio, Root, Alternating, or Comparison?”
  • Formula overload: Dozens of derivative, integral, and trig identities to memorize
  • Decision paralysis: Not knowing which method to try first
  • Time pressure: Losing points not from math, but from setup mistakes

The solution isn't more memorization — it’s having a structured system you can instantly access on your TI-84 Plus CE.

What’s Included in the AP Calculus BC Bundle

You get three fully developed programs today, plus three additional modules releasing within the next 10 days.

Upcoming additions included free:

  • Derivatives Library — Rules, shortcuts, and worked examples
  • Integral Library — U-substitution, IBP, partial fractions, and common forms
  • Polar & Parametric Tools — Area, arc length, derivatives, graphing guidance

All three new programs will be added automatically to the bundle — free lifetime updates.

1. SERIES Pro — Convergence Tests & Taylor/Maclaurin

SERIES Pro is the core of the BC Bundle. It handles every major AP Calculus BC series concept using a structured, teacher-tested approach: the GPART Method™.

  • G — Geometric Test: Identify constant ratios instantly
  • P — P-Series: Recognize 1/np patterns
  • A — Alternating: Handle (–1)n terms correctly
  • R — Ratio: Perfect for factorials & exponential patterns
  • T — Root, Comparison, Integral Tests: For the toughest cases

2. AP Calculus Formula Guide — Complete Derivatives & Integrals

This lightweight TI-84 program gives you instant access to every major derivative and integral used in AP Calculus AB and BC. It eliminates memorization stress and keeps you focused on problem solving.

  • Power rule, product rule, quotient rule, chain rule
  • Trig & inverse trig derivatives
  • U-substitution, basic integrals, trig integrals
  • BC topics: parametric, polar, arc length, and more

3. Trig Identity Program — Essential for Integration & Polar

Many BC problems — especially trig integrals, substitutions, and polar equations — rely on a solid set of trig identities. This program includes every identity needed for Calculus BC and Precalculus review.

  • Angle sum & difference
  • Double-angle & half-angle
  • Pythagorean identities
  • Product-to-sum & sum-to-product
  • Reduction formulas

Upcoming Modules (Included Free)

These will be added automatically to your download folder as soon as they’re released:

  • Derivatives Library: Detailed rules, examples, and derivative shortcuts
  • Integral Library: U-sub, IBP, partial fractions, trig integrals, common AP forms
  • Polar & Parametric Tools: Arc length, area, derivatives, graphing, parametric motion

(Modules releasing within the next 10 days — free lifetime updates.)
