LiveMath™ Software

livemath logo 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.








Distance Calculus - Student Reviews

I did not do well in AP Calculus during my senior year in high school. Instead of trying to cram for the AP exam, I decided to jump ship and go to Distance Calculus to complete Calculus I. This was awesome! I finished Calculus I in about 6 weeks, and then I kept going into Calculus II. I started as a freshman at UCLA with both Calculus I and II done!

This is the most interactive and productive online course I have ever taken. I had taken calculus before but never understood some of the underlying concepts until I took this course.
If you want to really learn calculus in a way that will stay with you for the rest of your life, take this course.

Great course. Professor Curtis and the TAs graded quickly and gave really helpful feedback that made the class feel smooth and manageable. Definitely recommend it.

POSITIVES:
One of the best math classes I have ever taken. The lessons made the failures of my previous professors very apparent. In a few short minutes, things that I used to struggle with just clicked. This professor is top notch and really wants you to understand how to use the material.
NEGATIVES:
The SOFTWARE is extremely frustrating. Even after taking the time to learn, there are countless glitches. You learn to work around them, and overall, the software makes the math convenient, but its failures are sorely felt throughout the course. Make sure you save often as it crashes regularly, especially with graphs.
The assignments are easy enough but some of them don't line up with the taught material. Be prepared to do some of your own independent research to get a deeper understanding of why things are the way they are.

Courses Completed: Multivariable Calculus
Im a visual learner and had a difficult time understanding multivariable calculus my first go around, and found this course offered by Roger Williams University, which uses real-time 3d graphing of the equations. I would see my work be manipulating the models, which gave a robust understanding of what each variable did. absolutely loved the course and class recordings.

Distance Calculus was the perfect answer to getting ahead in math over the summer of my junior year in HS. I was able to complete the entire course over the summer. The teacher was responsive and the course was understandable. Highly recommend.
