LiveMath™ Software

For all Year 1 Calculus courses, we use the graphically-based LiveMath™ Maker computer algebra and graphing system.

Complete Algebraic Operations via "Drag and Drop" Tactile Actions!

Feel the math. Pick up math expressions, drag them to other objects, the drop - contextual math operations do the rest! A GREAT teaching tool!

Graphing Power with Speed
and Ease of Use

Make and customize and add to 2D and 3D graphs, without knowing "the syntax" to do what you want, when you want. Pick up graphs: move them, spin them, zoom-in, zoom-out.

Mathematica™ Software

For Differential Equations, Linear Algebra, and Probability Theory courses, we use the programming-language-based Mathematica™ computer algebra and graphing system by Wolfram Research

Mathematica is a very powerful computer algebra engine, used by professional engineers and mathematicians to work on research-level mathematical computations.

Courses Completed: Probability Theory

Probability Theory was a great course. Very very thorough. I thought it would never end :). I was very prepared for my coursework in economics. Excellent refereshher of derivatives and integrals - really forced me to remember that stuff from freshman cal.

Courses Completed: Differential Equations

This course may be more difficult than your average differential equations course, which better prepares you to use these skills in your degree. The self-learning does make learning some of the concepts challenging, but you get the help you need to understand these concepts.

Courses Completed: Calculus I, Calculus II

I needed to brush up on my high school calculus and finally take Calc II before starting a graduate program that needed them as prereqs. This was perfect choice to fit in that summer. Got done at fast pace that I wanted and needed. Also had added bonus of one on one feedback and help when needed. Video lessons were better than many on campus instructors in large lecture settings. Recommend for anyone needing to satisfy prereqs at home institution.

Courses Completed: Calculus I

After two failed attempts at my university, this course helped me understand Calculus. The live maths tool along with Dr. Curtis were especially helpful, allowing me to visualize concepts and expand my understanding. The explanations were clear, the examples practical, and I could learn at my own pace, which built my confidence. Thank you.
