What You'll Learn

A full college course covering both Calculus 2 and Calculus 3 topics — completed at your own pace, with no deadlines or fixed class times.

🎓
This course covers both Calculus 2 and Calculus 3 topics. The NCCRS-recommended Maths 265 syllabus includes parametric equations, polar coordinates, and vector-valued functions — Calculus 3 topics — alongside the complete Calculus 2 sequence. We also include additional bonus material (below) on advanced polar & parametric calculus and conic sections. This shared coverage is why many universities recognize the course toward both Calc 2 and Calc 3 requirements.
Learning Outcomes

What You'll Be Able to Do

  • Analyze and evaluate integrals by selecting and applying appropriate integration techniques — including substitution, integration by parts, trigonometric methods, and partial fractions — and justify the choice of method used
  • Determine and interpret the behavior of functions involving indeterminate forms and improper integrals by applying limit analysis, L'Hôpital's Rule, and convergence tests
  • Apply definite integrals to solve advanced applied problems, including areas, volumes, and arc length, and interpret results within mathematical and physical contexts
  • Work with parametric equations, polar coordinates, and vector-valued functions to model motion and analyze curves — the topics that bridge Calculus 2 and Calculus 3
  • Analyze sequences and infinite series to determine convergence or divergence using appropriate tests, and explain the reasoning behind each conclusion
  • Construct and manipulate power series, including Taylor and Maclaurin series, to represent functions and approximate values, and evaluate the accuracy of approximations using error analysis
  • Synthesize concepts from integral calculus and series to solve multi-step problems that require mathematical reasoning, correct notation, and clear justification of results

Advanced Topics: Polar, Parametric & Conic Sections

Beyond the NCCRS-recommended syllabus, every UPI Study enrollment includes an additional module that takes the parametric, polar, and conic material to a Calculus 3 depth — covering the calculus performed within these coordinate systems and a full treatment of the classical curves.

Polar coordinates: points, curves & applications
Advanced calculus in polar: derivatives, areas & arc lengths
Parametric equations: graphs, motion & modeling
Parametric calculus: slope, speed, arc length & area
Conic sections: ellipses, parabolas & hyperbolas
Conic properties: reflection, polar form & orbital applications

Note: This is supplementary enrichment material included in the UPI Study course. It is not part of the NCCRS-recommended Maths 265 syllabus and is not required for the 4-credit recommendation.

Everything you need to know about Calculus 2 — credits, grading, transfer, and how it compares to traditional options.

What is Calculus 2?
Calculus 2 (Maths 265) is a college-level STEM course worth 4 credit hours and carrying an NCCRS recommendation. UPI Study's course covers both Calculus 2 and Calculus 3 topics — including parametric equations, polar coordinates, vector-valued functions, and conic sections — which is why many universities recognize it toward both requirements.
Does this course cover Calculus 3 material?
Yes. The NCCRS-recommended Maths 265 syllabus includes Calculus 3 topics such as parametric equations, polar coordinates, vector-valued functions, and conic sections, alongside the full Calculus 2 sequence. Because the topics overlap, many cooperating universities recognize this single course toward both Calc 2 and Calc 3 requirements. Check with your academic advisor on how your specific school applies the credit.
Is this course difficult?
The course is designed to be challenging but accessible. It is self-paced, so you can take the time you need on more difficult concepts. Most students complete it in 28–30 days with consistent effort.
Is this course self-paced?
