I have to take Calculus online. I am looking at www.distancecalculus.com . What do you guys think of this option. Taking Calculus in the class-room is NOT an option for me. I am open to any suggestions for institutions offering Calculus I, II, and III online.

I have had College Algebra, Precalculus, (both of which I got a high "B"), and I took 3/4 of Calc I on a campus till I had to drop out due to family responsibilites (grandfather's health went down hill and there was no one else in my family to take care of him).

I learn extremely well on my own. I am finishing Calculus based Physics Classes (one per semester) starting again next January Spring 2013 (I have already had Physics 211 (calc based first semester) (received a "B" as well on that). So I want to take these Calculus classes online to prepare me for the other half Physics 213. I learn well on my own and most of my degree (general education credits) has been done online.

Feedback? Suggestions? Other options?

Thanks!

Very interesting link. I have never heard of this school. So what is your ultimate goal? If it's just to take classes, then any school is as good as the next but if you are looking to transfer to a specific university or get a particular type of degree then I'm sure more people will be able to give more input.
 
guys i am currently studying in computer science engineering [1st yr]. i was intrested in physics when i was in high school. due to some circumstances i chose computer science engineering degree. so i want to incoporate computer science engineering with physics and i came across computational physics. i am intrested studying it but i dont know where to start. can you guys reccomend me some yt channels or some free courses or some other way to learn the computational physics.
I'm going to make this one quick since I have little time. Background: Throughout my life I have always done good in Math. I almost always received 90%+, and received easily upwards of 95% when I took normal-level HS Math courses. When I took Grade 9 "De-Streamed" Math (All students must take "De-Streamed" in Canada), I initially had 98% until I got very sick and my mark had dropped to 95%. The Physics teachers and Math teachers talked about me as if I were some sort of genius. Then, an...
Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
