Basic Introductory Statistics - Distance Calculus Course Information

Basic Statistics course can best be described as a "first course of an introduction to basic statistics (without calculus)".

This course has many names, all being equivalent:
  • Introductory Statistics
  • General Statistics
  • Basic Statistics
  • General Education Statistics


Our Basic Statistics course differs from a classroom/textbook-based course in that we employ Mastery Learning so that you complete all assignments at 100% to assure competancy, as well as our curriculum shifting the course to a laboratory-style course, where theorem/lemma/proof type exposition is replaced by running experiments in Mathematica as you would in a science laboratory to empirically deduce the concepts and behaviors of basic statistics, both solvable (classically) via hand-based techiques, as well as studying basic statistics and probability that can only be solved and investigated graphically and numerically using a computer. The Basic Statistics curriculum is highly visual and based upon observations of experiments run in LiveMath.


At Distance Calculus, we call our "Basic Statistics" course as Basic Statistics - DMAT 125 - 4 credits.

Review by: Harlan E.
Courses Completed: Calculus I, Calculus II
Review: 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!

Courses Completed: Applied Calculus
Review: I found out from my MBA program that I needed to finish calculus before starting the MBA. They told me 3 weeks before term started! I was able to finish Applied Calculus from Distance Calculus. Definitely a great class. Thanks Distance Calculus!
