Finite Math Online Course for Academic Credit
Finite Mathematics - DMAT 145 - is a common freshman course for business-oriented students to learn more mathematics for application to their business and economic degrees.
Topics range from solving linear systems via matrix row operations and inverse methods, to formulating and solving linear programs using both geometric and simplex techniques. The course continues into the mathematics of finance, sets and counting, probability, Markov chains, and game theory - each topic explored interactively in the LiveMath software alongside the printed text.
Completion of DMAT 145 - Computational Finite Mathematics - earns 3 academic credit semester hours with an official academic transcript from Roger Williams University, in Providence, Rhode Island, USA, which is regionally accredited by the New England Commission of Higher Education (NECHE), facilitating transfer of credits nationwide to other colleges and universities.

Cons: the movies are great, but the software crashes more than it should. Sometimes it is just a hassle doing things in the software instead of on paper, but once I got used to the software, it was ok.
