Topics covered in this course include limits (including those involving infinity); derivatives and rates of change; continuity; applications of the derivative; linear approximation; accumulation; antidifferentiation; definite integrals; and more.

Content in this course is adaptive, allowing you to achieve mastery in a certain concept before moving on to the next. This course uses Gradarius, a calculus learning platform that personalizes your learning based on the topics you already know and the topics you still need to learn. You will also have access to individualized coaching as you move through each topic in this course.

Self-paced courses allow students to complete course assignments at their own pace, as long as the course is completed within a year. Self-paced courses are great for:

• Students who want to start right away
• Students who are self-directed and can set and stick to a plan for completing the course
• Students who may want to either go faster or slower than the instructor-paced version

Instructor-led courses have a structure with weekly assignment due dates, as well as an instructor guiding a student through the curriculum and content. Instructor-led courses are great for:

• Students who prefer a structured timeline with established due dates for assignments
• Students who enjoy interaction with other students, who will be completing assignments at the same time
• Students who are taking their first course online, and may benefit from greater guidance
