Enroll Now, Start Today - Calculus I Course Academic Credits

Many other schools make you "wait for the next academic semester" - in contrast, Distance Calculus @ Roger Williams University lets you enroll today, start today, and finish your course as quickly as your academic skills allow.

All Distance Calculus courses are asynchronous in nature - what most people used to call "self-paced" - but our courses are more than just self-paced - Distance Calculus is all about working on your timeline, and going either as slow as you need to, or as fast as your academic skills allow.

Many students need a Calculus 1 Course course completed on the fast track - because time is critical in finishing calculus courses needed for academic prerequisites and graduate school applications.

You don’t just learn in this course you understand. As someone who has always struggled with math taking advanced courses was intimidating. Dr. Curtis and his TAs made math manageable and framed the questions in a way they were applicable to real world. Thanks again!

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.

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.

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.
