Survey of Calculus Fast for Academic Credits

Unable to "wait for the next academic semester" to complete a Survey of Calculus course? Distance Calculus @ Roger Williams University has you covered!

Need to finish your Survey of Calculus course as fast as possible? Distance Calculus is ready for you.

Distance Calculus is designed to get you enrolled in Survey of Calculus immediately, and to have you finish the course as quickly as your academic skills allow.

Each Calculus course is different, some are more difficult and longer than others. But depending upon which Distance Calculus course, you could finish your course in a matter of weeks. It all depends upon your academic skills - some students are able to go lightning fast through the courses, some students need more time. Our only rule is that you go through the courses CORRECTLY and learn the material in our mastery learning format at 100% completion.

Our Distance Calculus courses are designed to be asynchronous - a fancy term for "self-paced" - but it more than just self-paced - it is all about working on your timeline, and going either as slow as you need to, or as fast as your academic skills allow.

Many students need a Survey of Calculus course completed on the fast track - because time is critical in finishing calculus courses needed for academic prerequisites and graduate school applications.

Here is a video about earning real academic credits from Distance Calculus @ Roger Williams University:

Survey of Calculus course can best be described as a "single semester course introducing Differential and Integral Calculus to non-STEM majors".

This course has many names, all being equivalent:

Survey of Calculus
Liberal Arts Calculus
Applied Calculus
Business Calculus
Brief Calculus
Calculus for Life Science

At Distance Calculus, we call our "Survey of Calculus" course as Applied Calculus - DMAT 201 - 3 credits.

I found the courses to be informative, enjoyable, and most importantly, effective in helping me learn the concepts of calculus. My math skills were always very weak, and I had a great deal of difficulty passing my undergrad math courses.
The pace of a traditional classroom setting was just too quick for the concepts to really sink in. With Distance Calculus, I had courses that were taught with the full rigor of an on-campus class, but where I could take my time and really learn the material...all while having access to top-tier instructional help for real math professors and assistants.

DC gave me the tools and the confidence I needed, so after successfully passing my DC courses, I moved on and completed a master's degree in CS.

Pros: once you get going, you can go really fast. The visual textbook is pretty cool. The instructors were very responsive.
Cons: the movies are great, but the software crashes more than it should. Sometimes it is just a hassle doing things in the software instead of on paper, but once I got used to the software, it was ok.

Fantastic and unique course, particularly good for visual/spatial thinkers. The course forces you to develop a real conceptual understanding of the math concepts, as opposed to just teaching math formulas like other courses tend to do.

There is a steep learning curve early on to get used to the software and the kind of course this is.

Ultimately, I feel like what I learned will allow me to actually use the math and build upon it in the future. If you care about learning, rather than just passing a requirement, this is a great course for you.

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.

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.
