Is this Online Calculus Course for You?
Online calculus is open to all and particularly popular among students preparing for graduate schools: MBA and medical schools, pharmacy, biology.
Online calculus may not be for everybody. Past students who succeeded in this course tend to be independent, self-motivated, able to adhere to a regular schedule, and comfortable with algebra. Post baccalaureate students and high school students passionate about math also tend to well. The online calculus course is not easier than a regular class, but it might be more convenient.
Online Calculus: What You Will Learn
The central object of the study in calculus is the concept of a function. Functions are used to describe the real world around us. Calculus introduces two fundamental concepts which enable us to describe and investigate functions. These are the derivative and the integral. The derivative describes the behavior of a function at a particular time. The integral carries information about the history of a function.
