Celebrating Our 12th Year
of Teaching On-Line

Suffolk University is one of the major universities in Boston, featuring its internationally respected Law School, School of Management, and College of Arts and Sciences

Suffolk University is
fully accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC)

All Distance Calculus Courses
are offered through the
Mathematics &
Computer Science Department
at Suffolk University.

   
Prerequisites

The technical equipment prerequisites of Distance Calculus are as follows:

  • Computer (Newish)
    You need a computer than can run mathematical software. The minimal specifications are as follows:
    • Windows XP or Vista, or Macintosh OSX or OS9, or Linux (mainstream)
    • 500Mhz processor or higher
    • 15" monitor or larger
    • Thousands of colors or higher
    • 256MB RAM or higher
    • 20GB Hard Drive or larger
    • Reliable phone or broadband connection to the internet

  • Confident with Email and Web Browser
    You need to be confident with checking, writing, and responding to email and web browsing. If you are not confident, it may be best to take a "computer skills course" before enrolling in a Distance Calculus course.

  • Ability To Install Software
    Either from downloads via the Web, or from a CD-ROM, the ability to install software onto your computer for the course is essential. If you have never installed software onto your computer, it would probably be best to find a friend to help you with these skills at your location, or take a "computer skills course" before enrolling in a Distance Calculus course.
