Our Differential Equations 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 differential equations, both solvable (classically) via hand-based techiques,
as well as studying differential equations that can only be solved and investigated graphically and numerically using
a computer.

Distance Calculus - Student Reviews

Courses Completed: Precalculus, Calculus I
Well organized and well explained content. Professor did a great job. I learned a lot.
Dist Calc saved a ton of hassle and time having to take calc at a local community college, which realistically would have delayed my entrance to BU LEAP by at least a year.
Would strongly recommend it.

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.

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!

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.

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.
