I don't know of a place to find the exact curriculum, but if you go to MIT's OpenCourseWare (ocw.mit.edu) you can find a page with Calc 1 lecture notes and more; It is comparable to a BC class. As for AB, you may want to type "Visual Calculus" into google. The first site that comes up should help :smile:.
