Liberal Arts Calculus

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:

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

Math 134 4 Credits Applied Calculus
Math 133 3 Credits Survey of Calculus

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.

Advisory: For students with a weak background in high school Algebra I and II, you are advised to take the 4 credit - Math 134 - Applied Calculus course, which includes a "precalculus mini-course" which constitutes a thorough review of algebra and precalculus topics.

The Math 133 - Survey of Calculus - 3 credits - includes only a very minimal review of precalculus topics, which will not be sufficient for those students with weaker algebra backgrounds.

Students who take this lower-level 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.
