MBA Programs @ MIT and Distance Calculus
Students either accepted or applying to MIT's Executive MBA or Sloan MBA programs can complete their incoming Calculus requirements via Distance Calculus.MIT's Executive MBA program will accept the DMAT 201 - Applied Calculus - as their calculus requirement course that needst to be completed prior to the first day or classes.
Students heading towards the Sloan MBA program will find the mathematics requirements there more advanced - often students are required to take the upper level courses of Differential Equations, Linear Algebra, and even Probability Theory.
For EMBA @ MIT students looking complete their single Calculus course requirement, our DMAT 201 - Applied Calculus - is a perfect course, and is designed for students to be to complete the course on a significant fast track - the average fast track for Applied Calculus student is 3 weeks. This is not an easy three weeks! Achieving such a completion timeline requires a significant dedication by the student to complete the course. We are very happy to support the MIT MBA programs with our Distance Calculus courses.

Our Business Calculus course is called Applied Calculus - DMAT 201 - 3 credits - from Roger Williams University in Providence, Rhode Island.
Our Applied Calculus course is a general, liberal arts introduction to Calculus. It is not specifically a "business applications of calculus" course. While some courses and textbooks do exist like this, we believe that we, as mathematicians, should let the business concepts be taught by the business school, and while you are in the calculus course, we simply concentrate on the calculus topics. Otherwise, the course gets too long with lots of applications that "muddy the waters" for the student looking to finish the calculus requirement quickly.
Here is a video about our Business Calculus - Applied Calculus course from Distance Calculus @ Roger Williams University:
Applied Calculus vs Calculus I
MBA students seeking to fulfill their calculus requirement may do so via our Applied Calculus - DMAT 201 - 3 credit course - which is very popular with MBA-bound students.
Even if your MBA school does not require Calculus, your enrollment application to your MBA school will look stronger with more Calculus courses on your academic transcripts.
For most MBA students, a single course like Applied Calculus will suffice.
For those students planning to go to very strongly mathematical MBA program (e.g. Sloan School of Management at MIT), you will actually need to take the ENTIRE Engineering Calculus sequence!
Please explore these links below that describe more about the types of calculus courses you may wish to take before applying for MBA school, or other graduate programs that historically require Calculus and/or more mathematics prerequisites.
Distance Calculus @ Roger Williams University offers all of the main lower-division university-level calculus courses.

Courses Completed: Multivariable Calculus
Distance Calculus was a life saver! I needed an accredited program to complete multi-variable calculus for grad school and at the time was an American living in England. Being able to take the course on my own timeline, from my own home, was amazing! The content was thorough and the visualization exercises were very helpful for comprehension and understanding. This was an exceptionally, affordable, thorough, and convenient course that I found a lot of value in and I’m thankful it was available to me!

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: Probability Theory
Probability Theory was a great course. Very very thorough. I thought it would never end :). I was very prepared for my coursework in economics. Excellent refereshher of derivatives and integrals - really forced me to remember that stuff from freshman cal.

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.

POSITIVES:
One of the best math classes I have ever taken. The lessons made the failures of my previous professors very apparent. In a few short minutes, things that I used to struggle with just clicked. This professor is top notch and really wants you to understand how to use the material.
NEGATIVES:
The SOFTWARE is extremely frustrating. Even after taking the time to learn, there are countless glitches. You learn to work around them, and overall, the software makes the math convenient, but its failures are sorely felt throughout the course. Make sure you save often as it crashes regularly, especially with graphs.
The assignments are easy enough but some of them don't line up with the taught material. Be prepared to do some of your own independent research to get a deeper understanding of why things are the way they are.

Courses Completed: Multivariable Calculus
Im a visual learner and had a difficult time understanding multivariable calculus my first go around, and found this course offered by Roger Williams University, which uses real-time 3d graphing of the equations. I would see my work be manipulating the models, which gave a robust understanding of what each variable did. absolutely loved the course and class recordings.
