Internet Resources
There are thousands of websites available to help you understand AP Calculus. Some of them explain the content better than I can and better than your textbook can. I encourage you to make use of these resources when you are stuck on something. A few of my favorites are listed below. When I learned AP Calculus as I began teaching it, these are the resources I used.

Textbook Solutions Manual
This link will take you to a PDF of the Solutions Manual for the textbook we use. If you have a question about one of the homework problems, you can look it up here. It includes the Explorations, the Quick Reviews, the Exercises, and the Quick Quizzes (pretty much everything). Use this resource wisely. Use it to check your work, not to avoid work.

Khan Academy
I have had students learn all of AP Calculus through Khan Academy before I taught it to them. In fact, I am including several videos from Khan Academy as required viewing for each day's homework. I recommend that you explore more videos than those assigned and try some of the practice problems that are available on Khan Academy.
In addition to videos on Calculus, Khan Academy has videos on just about everything you have ever learned in math. Do you want to remember how to do something in math? Look it up on Khan Academy!
Differential Calculus (AP Calculus Part 1) on Khan Academy
Integral Calculus (AP Calculus Part 2) on Khan Academy

Internet Archive
Wow! What an amazing collection of knowledge and works from our society and culture. The Internet Archive has complete courses on several Advanced Placement classes, including AP Calculus (both AB and BC). You can also find lessons on AP Physics (both B and C), AP Environmental Science, AP U.S. Government, and AP U.S. History.
I will include links to the lessons on AP Calculus in the daily assignments. These are optional, but may help you understand the material better.

YouTube
AP Calculus teachers have an addiction...posting instructional videos on YouTube. If you have access to YouTube, there is no reason why you are not understanding anything in AP Calculus. There are tens of thousands of videos covering every topic within AP Calculus and examples of about every type of question you might face in AP Calculus.
If you are stuck on something while doing homework, go to YouTube and do a search using a few key phrases in the topic you are working on. Chances are, you will get a couple videos from Khan Academy and then a hundred or so more from AP Calculus teachers around the world.
