Video: High School Math Course Plan with Distance Calculus Senior Year

Are you in high school and planning to take one of your high school's AP Calculus courses?

This is a common plan for university-bound high school students. Whether mathematics is your strongest subject, or perhaps not your favorite subject, getting ahead in the calculus sequence is a wise plan. When you start your university career as a freshman, having a nice set of courses already completed on Day One allows you to take higher courses in other subjects that have Calculus I and/or Calculus II as prerequisites.

Below are some video presentations on how Distance Calculus courses might fit into your high school calculus plan.

A discussion about how Distance Calculus courses may fit into a motivated high school mathematics course plan, with the advanced high school student take Distance Calculus courses during his/her senior year - Multivariable Calculus, Differential Equations, Linear Algebra, and/or Probability Theory (Calculus-Based Statistics), to build an impressive academic record for transfer to the student's Bachelor's Degree college or university.

Courses Completed: Multivariable Calculus, Differential Equations, Linear Algebra, Probability Theory

I've taken Multivariable Calculus, Linear Algebra, Differential Equations, and Probability Theory through Distance Calculus. All four courses were awesome. Dr. Curtis and the TA's were very responsive and helpful.
The biggest advantage of these courses, compared to taking a traditional course, is that in addition to the theory, I was forced to also think computationally. I have become quite adept at using LiveMath and Mathematica for doing calculations and plots.
All of the courses were accepted for credit transfer (Johns Hopkins University)

Courses Completed: Applied Calculus

Distance Calculus was the perfect answer to getting ahead in math over the summer of my junior year in HS. I was able to complete the entire course over the summer. The teacher was responsive and the course was understandable. Highly recommend.

Courses Completed: Linear Algebra

The program used gives an amazing insight into everything that's happening, that you wouldn't get in a traditional course. All of the lessons are clear and clean, and the professor is very helpful along the way. I learned a lot and am happy with taking this course

Courses Completed: Calculus I

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.
