Multivariable Calculus - After the AP Calculus AB and BC Courses

An excellent path towards academic achievement in university calculus is to take the Multivariable Calculus course after you have completed the high-school AP Calculus AB and BC courses.

Some students pass the AP Calculus AB and/or BC exams at a 3, 4, or 5, earning college credit at their college or university they will attend after high school.

Keep the ball rolling! Many motivated high school students take the Distance Calculus Multivariable Calculus course after they complete the AP Calculus AB and BC course at their high school.

Distance Calculus does not require a specific score on the AP Calculus BC exam - completion of your high school AP Calculus BC course is sufficient to meet the prerequisite for the Distance Calculus Multivariable Calculus course. Although earning course credit for Calculus I (Calculus AB) and/or Calculus II (Calculus BC) is advantageous for an eager high school student, sometimes the high stakes AP Calculus exam is not for everyone. It is more important to keep your math studies going forward, and Distance Calculus Multivariable Calculus can be your platform to earn real, transferrable college credits, not just a score on a standardized exam.

Review: I highly recommend this course! Dr. Curtis is the best teacher and is ALWAYS willing to work with you to make sure you understand the subject. It was definitely a positive experience and the credits were transferred to my University with no problems! I definitely do not regret it and I had doubts in the beginning but if I had to, I would do it all over again!

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!

Review: I found out from my grad school after being accepted that I needed a Calculus course before starting their MBA program. I had less than 6 weeks to do it (and as a non-STEM undergrad no less). The video lectures were informative, the pre-calc refresher was great to get re-conditioned, and the asynchronous format worked so well as I did this at night/weekends after work. I completed it in 4 weeks. Professor Curtis was extremely responsive, graded assignments quickly, and a supportive guide providing constructive feedback to me to excel at the assignments. I highly recommend this course for those who need a pre-req in a hurry or like learning on their own schedule. Thanks, Distance Calculus and Professor Curtis!
