Don't take this the wrong way, but I hope her father was involved as well, I would hate to think he didn't help you at all through such an amazing accomplishment.

We only offer AB at our school.... However, we also have an Advanced Calculus course which picks up where AB lets off and finishes the first year of college calculus. A handful of students each year find themselves taking a Differential Equations course..... Our AP Physics teachers teach the kids some basic derivatives, enough to get their classes going with kinematics. However, they don't go into the depth with limits and the essence of derivatives like we do in the math department. Class sizes vary from year to year. We typically run six sections of Calc and we seem to hit 34 per class before the administration will open a seventh section. Of course, if we ever get below 160, we'll knock it down to five sections. Our Calculus classes tend to run a little larger than our freshman and sophomore courses as younger students present more class management issues than upper classmen who are driven to take high levels of moath. Of course, at 34 kids in a class, the grading in Calc is brutal.
