TI-84 Plus CE Calculus Program for AP Calculus AB & BC

(Formulas, integrals, and series at your fingertips)

Want everything for AP Calculus AB & BC in one place?

🎓 Get the AP Calculus BC TI-84 Plus CE Program Bundle – includes the Calculus Formula Guide, Trig Identities, and SERIES Pro for BC topics like series tests and Taylor/Maclaurin expansions.

If you’ve ever stared at a blank test page trying to remember whether d/dx (tan x) = sec²x or d/dx (tan x) = –sec²x, you’re not alone. AP Calculus is challenging enough without the constant pressure to memorize every formula, identity, and rule.

That’s exactly why this TI-84 Calculus Program exists — to give you formulas, reminders, and examples right on your calculator, so you can spend less time trying to recall equations and more time solving problems confidently.

Why This Program Exists

When you’re deep in calculus — derivatives, integrals, the Fundamental Theorem, Taylor series, polar curves — the formulas pile up fast. Many students end up spending hours memorizing instead of practicing how to apply those formulas.

This program flips that around. It puts everything you need to remember inside your calculator, so you can focus on the part that actually earns you points: doing the calculus.


What It Covers (and Why It Helps You)

Think of this as your portable calculus reference library, built directly into your TI-84 Plus CE or TI-84 Plus CE Python calculator.

🧮 Derivatives Made Simple

  • Basic, trig, inverse trig, logarithmic, exponential, and hyperbolic derivatives
  • Product, quotient, and chain rule examples
  • Helpful reminders like “d/dx(sin(u)) = cos(u) · u′” so you don’t forget the inner derivative

These screens make it easy to double-check your work during practice or review sessions — so you can catch small errors before they cost you points.


🔢 Integrals & Techniques

  • Basic, trig, inverse trig, exponential/log, and hyperbolic integrals
  • Integration by parts, u-substitution, trig substitution, and partial fractions
  • Definite integrals, area under curves, Trapezoidal and Simpson’s Rules

This saves time when you’re reviewing — no more flipping through your notes for the right formula. It’s all in one place.


📈 Fundamental Theorem of Calculus

Both Part I and II are included, with clear examples that connect derivatives and integrals — a common AP favorite.

One screen walks you through real examples step by step, helping you visualize how the theorem applies when limits depend on x.

♾️ Limits, L’Hôpital’s Rule, and Graph Analysis

When you hit indeterminate forms like 0/0 or ∞/∞, it’s easy to panic. The program reminds you exactly when and how to apply L’Hôpital’s Rule, plus key limit facts such as:

  • lim (x→0) (sin x / x) = 1
  • lim (x→∞) (1 + 1/x)ˣ = e

You’ll also find graph analysis reminders for first and second derivative tests, concavity, and points of inflection — everything you need for curve sketching.


💡 Concept Help & Reminders

Need a refresher mid-problem? The Concept Help menu gives short, easy-to-follow explanations for:

  • Chain Rule
  • Product & Quotient Rules
  • Related Rates
  • L’Hôpital’s Rule

Each comes with examples so you can quickly recall how to approach similar questions on your homework, quizzes, or the AP exam.

🚀 BC-Level Topics (for AP Calculus BC & beyond)

If you’re in AP Calculus BC or college Calculus II, you’ll love this section. It includes:

  • Series & Sequences Tests: nth-term, ratio, root, alternating, comparison, integral
  • Taylor & Maclaurin Series: with common expansions for eˣ, sin x, cos x, ln(1+x), and 1/(1−x)
  • Polar & Parametric Equations: arc length, area, slope
  • Vectors & Euler’s Method

This is where the AP Calculus BC Bundle really shines — especially with the SERIES Pro program handling your series tests and BC-only topics. Having these on-hand not only reduces anxiety but also helps you review advanced topics efficiently right before big tests.


The Benefits in Plain English

⏱ Save Time

Instead of searching through your notes or textbooks, you can find the exact formula you need in seconds. That’s time you can spend solving, not flipping.

✅ Improve Accuracy

It’s easy to mix up a sign or exponent under test pressure. With formulas in front of you, you’ll catch mistakes early and stay consistent.

😌 Reduce Anxiety

Knowing your formulas are just a few button presses away gives you peace of mind — especially before tests. Confidence matters as much as preparation.

📚 Focus on Understanding

Once you stop worrying about memorization, you’ll finally have room to focus on why the math works — the key to mastering calculus and acing your AP exam.


Who It’s For

  • High school AP Calculus AB & BC students who want to study smarter and lower stress
  • College Calculus I & II students who want quick recall and error-proof review tools
  • Anyone who prefers learning concepts over memorization
