For many university students, their general education requirements include a single course in university-level calculus.

Often, this single survey of calculus course is referred to as one of the following:

• Business Calculus
• Survey of Calculus
• Calculus for Poets
• Liberal Arts Calculus

Distance Calculus offers this one-semester Liberal Arts-level calculus course:

Math 134		4 Credits		Calculus for Management & Social Sciences

The common requirement for a survey course in university-level calculus can be usually described as follows:

A university-level calculus course which includes an introductory study of differential and integral calculus.

The following is the official Course Description: Math 134 - Calculus for Management & Social Sciences Functions, graphs, analytic geometry of lines and circles, limits, continuity, derivatives, differential calculus of algebraic, exponential, and logarithmic functions; applications to rate problems, maxima and minima and curve sketching, area, integral as a function, accumulation, integration techniques. Prerequisite: Precalculus Mathematics. Topics in algebra.

Students who take this Distance Calculus course include the following types of students: Undergraduate Non-Science Majors Many undergraduates are required to complete a university-level calculus course as part of their general education requirements. Student Seeking Entrance to MBA Program Many undergraduate business majors were not required to complete a university-level calculus course for their undergraduate degree. However, when they apply to an MBA program, such a course is required and must be fullfilled before entering the MBA program. Often, the "liberal arts university-level calculus requirement" is not the most favorite general education requirement for non-science majors. By completing this requirement via the Distance Calculus course, we hope to transform a dreaded requirement into a fun, exciting, and enriching course, heavily relying upon the use of technology and investigation to build academic skills that will last far beyond the finish of the course. In addition to the use of technology, we believe our curriculum, BusinessCalculus&LiveMath, includes many applications and data analysis problems that the non-science major will find interesting and applicable to their main interests of study outside of mathematics.
