Business Calculus Courses for Credit

In addition to a calculus requirement, MBA schools also usually require additional financial mathematics courses as a preparatory course before entrace into their program.

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.

• Calculus I
• Calculus II
• Multivariable Calculus
• Differential Equations
• Linear Algebra
• Probability Theory (Calculus-Based Statistics)

There are TONS of free courses online (some of which are really excellent), but if you plan to formalize your student of Data Science with a degree or certificate, you will want to have all of the above courses on real, transferable Academic transcripts to prove you have completed these courses, with letter grades. There are no short-cuts in building up your credentials as a mathematician for data science.

MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) are awesome, but they do not provide real academic course credit for their courses. If you plan to go for a B.A. or M.A. towards an MBA concentration, you will not be able to say "Oh, I took all my calculus courses from a MOOC" - you need these courses in your academic portfolio.

Applied Calculus

Business 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 "Business Calculus" course as Applied Calculus - DMAT 201 - 3 credits.
