Differential Equations for Advanced High School Students

Many very motivated and eager high school students will finish Calculus AB (Calculus I) and Calculus BC (Calculus II) during their junior or senior year of high school.

If you finish these AP Calculus courses during your senior year, then one option to get ahead with your academic plan is to complete the next few courses: Calculus 3 (Calculus III) - Multivariable Calculus and Differential Equations - during the summer before you start your new undergraduate university. Earning real collegiate academic credits for Differential Equations and then transferring those credits to your new undergraduate college/university is an excellent way to start your new school with some advanced mathematics credits under your belt.

Some very eager students may finish Calculus I (AB) and Calculus II (BC) during their junior year of high school. For these students, enrolling in Differential Equations, and perhaps Multivariable and Linear Algebra, via Distance Calculus @ Roger Williams University is an excellent way to FINISH your lower division mathematics courses even before you step foot onto your new college/university campus the following Fall semester!

Here is a video about our Differential Equations course via Distance Calculus @ Roger Williams University:

Differential Equations Course






Multivariable Calculus & High School






After AP Calculus for High School Students



Differential Equations course can best be described as a "first course in the study of differential equations of a single independent variable".

This course has many names, all being equivalent:
  • Ordinary Differential Equations
  • Introductory Differential Equations
  • Differential Equations of a Single Variable
  • DiffyQ !


Our Differential Equations course differs from a classroom/textbook-based course in that we employ Mastery Learning so that you complete all assignments at 100% to assure competancy, as well as our curriculum shifting the course to a laboratory-style course, where theorem/lemma/proof type exposition is replaced by running experiments in Mathematica as you would in a science laboratory to empirically deduce the concepts and behaviors of differential equations, both solvable (classically) via hand-based techiques, as well as studying differential equations that can only be solved and investigated graphically and numerically using a computer.


At Distance Calculus, we call our "Differential Equations" course as Differential Equations - DMAT 321 - 3 credits.

Courses Completed: Multivariable Calculus
Review: 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.

Review: Course was good and fast. I don't like math so I can't say it was fun or anything. Grader was very nice. Software was ok.
