Survey of Calculus - Applied Calculus

Across the USA, the lower Calculus course takers on many names: Applied Calculus, Survey of Calculus, Brief Calculus, Business Calculus, Liberal Arts Calculus.

All of these courses are characterized by being essentially like the Calculus I course, but a bit easier in scope and difficulty level, as they are meant for non-science majors, often as general education requirement course.

Similar courses in other disciplines include the ubiquitous "Physics for Poets" course for non-science majors in Physics.

Whatever the title at your college/university, the hallmarks of this course are that you cannot take Calculus II after completing this lower Applied Calculus course. Usually this lower Applied Calculus course, like ours at Distance Calculus, also does not require trigonometry as a prerequisite.

A bit easier, a bit less intense, but still an awesome course to discover the essenence of differential and integral calculus, useful for many students in business (MBA) and other disciplines where only a single breadth course on calculus is required.
