How To Start Your Course

If you are new to Distance Calculus, here is a checklist for starting a Distance Calculus course.
  • Step 1: Course Enrollment
    Depending upon your current student status, you will identify yourself as either:
    • New Student to Distance Calculus
      If you are planning to take just one or a few courses from Distance Calculus , then you will start by filling out the Enrollment Application for Distance Calculus. This on-line application will start the process of getting you admitted as a special Non-Degree Seeking Student, and will work through the process (securely) of admissions, enrollment, tuition payment, and transcript/document checking - all electronically.

  • Step 2: Connect With The Instructors
    In all cases, the Instructors for Distance Calculus will initiate communications with you via email. As we all know, email is not as reliable as it once was due to spam filters and such. If you do not receive an email from the instructors very soon after your enrollment, please write to the instructors directly:

    Robert Curtis: robert@distancecalculus.com

    If you do not receive an email response within 24 hours (or on Monday if a weekend), then please call the Distance Calculus office directly so we may take extra steps to "unclog" the email connection between you and the instructors:

    Distance Calculus Office
    1.401.443.9824

    Once you make a connection with the Instructors for Distance Calculus via email, further "Getting Started" steps will be sent to you via email, and the course will begin!

I did not do well in AP Calculus during my senior year in high school. Instead of trying to cram for the AP exam, I decided to jump ship and go to Distance Calculus to complete Calculus I. This was awesome! I finished Calculus I in about 6 weeks, and then I kept going into Calculus II. I started as a freshman at UCLA with both Calculus I and II done!

A lifesaver. When I found out I needed a course done in the last weeks of summer I thought there was no way i'd find one available, but this let me complete the course as quickly as I needed to while still mastering the topics. Professor always got back to me very quickly and got my assignments back to me the next day or day of. Can't recommend this course enough for students in a hurry or who just want to learn at their own pace.

Courses Completed: Linear Algebra
I completed the Linear Algebra course as a prerequisite to an M.Ed program in Mathematics. I worked entirely at my own pace, it was cheap, I actually learned the material. This was not a "pay your fee, take your B" type of class. I had to demonstrate true understanding in order to earn credit. Dr. Curtis was responsive and helpful when I had questions. All in all I would recommend this course and any other Distance Calculus course.

The courses were excellent. Very flexible and engaging and the platform offers a lot of upper-level courses. Dr. Curtis is an outstanding professor and very responsive. I would take again.

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.
