All Distance Calculus Courses

Distance Calculus offers university-level mathematics courses via Roger Williams University - University College - in Rhode Island, USA

Distance Calculus offers the common first and second year university level courses, with two new upper-division courses:

  • Freshman-Level Courses:


    These courses are the "Survey of Calculus" or "Liberal Arts Calculus" courses that are a notch below the STEM/Engineering Calculus Sequence. They only differ with various applications of calculus modules that are more interesting for these two distinct groups of students seeking a "Single Course in Differential or Integral Calculus"


    These are the standard freshman year calculus courses, for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) majors.

  • Askew To Calculus:


    These courses are often offered in college/university at the below-Engineering Calculus level, although many students take these courses in their high schools.


    A common course for business or economics majors that includes many topics from mathematics combined into a single course.


    A common course for computer science majors.

  • Sophomore Year Calculus:

    • DMAT 335: Multivariable Calculus

    • Often called "Calculus III" or "Calculus IV" or "Vector Calculus", our course is the higher course starting with functions of many variables, then going into partial differentiation, vector fields, gradients, curls, divs, multiple integration, path and surface integrals

    • DMAT 321: Differential Equations

    • A standard course after Calculus II that is a first course to explore the higher topic of differential equations.

    • DMAT 335: Linear Algebra

    • A standard course using taken as a 2nd year student, which requires Calculus II as a prerequisite, but strangely actually does not have any calculus topics in it at all.

    • DMAT 311: Probability Theory

    • A standard course on calculus-based statistics, required for all students going into data science.

  • Honors Level Courses:


    The standard first year Calculus course sequence, but at the Honors level, for those students wishing a more challenging and enriching experience.


    The standard second year calculus sequence courses, but at the Honors level, for those students wishing a more challenging and enriching experience.


    A special set of honors-level courses especially for those students heading into data science-related majors and graduate programs.

  • Upper Division Courses:


    Two very exciting upper division courses, offered in a computationally-based curriculum.

This course provided an excellent chance to learn about Calculus...again. I took calculus in high school, but I learned so much more with this course!
It does take a good amount of time to do all the lessons, so definitely keep on top of them, but all the exercises helped me to really understand the material. And the nice thing is you can do it on your own time at home.

Distance Calculus was a life saver! I needed an accredited program to complete multi-variable calculus for grad school and at the time was an American living in England. Being able to take the course on my own timeline, from my own home, was amazing! The content was thorough and the visualization exercises were very helpful for comprehension and understanding. This was an exceptionally, affordable, thorough, and convenient course that I found a lot of value in and I’m thankful it was available to me!

The courses were excellent. Very flexible and engaging and the platform offers a lot of upper-level courses. Dr. Curtis is an outstanding professor and very responsive. I would take again.

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.
