Why Take UND's Calculus III Online Course?
MATH 265: Calculus III is a four-credit introductory multivariable calculus course that extends the concepts of single-variable calculus into two and three dimensions. Designed for students pursuing mathematics, engineering, physical sciences, computer science, data science, economics, and other quantitative fields, this course develops the tools needed to analyze functions, motion, fields, and geometric structures in higher-dimensional spaces.
UND Enroll Anytime offers two sections with different learning pathways. Choose the online format that best fits how you learn.
Both sections satisfy the same university course requirement, carry the same credit, and assess the same course outcomes. The sections differ in instruction, structure, practice tools, assessment and feedback modalities, and course materials.
Based on instructor capacity, there may be periods when one section of the course is closed to new registrations. During those periods, the other section will be the only available option. Section availability will be noted below. Click the "Register Now" button to begin the registration process.

This section is a traditional online course that is a good fit for students who prefer a self-directed pathway through the course material and who are comfortable learning from textbook readings, concise instructional videos, textbook-based practice problems, and traditional assignments. It was developed and is taught by Anthony Bevelacqua.
Learning Format
Students work through assigned textbook chapters and lesson notes, watch short instructional videos, submit assigned homework problems, and prepare for exams with a high degree of independence. This format requires strong self-discipline, careful exam preparation, and confidence in prerequisite skills.
Course Materials
This section of Math 265 requires the following textbook:
Calculus: Late Transcendentals Multivariable, 4th Edition by Rogawski, Adams, and Franzosa published by W.H. Freeman.
ISBN: 978-1-319-05578-3
A Student Solutions Manual is also available with complete solutions to the odd-numbered
problems in the text. This book is optional but strongly recommended.
ISBN: 978-1319254414
This section provides adaptive learning through the Knewton Alta homework system. It provides guided lesson modules, extensive instructor-developed content, and adaptive homework practice. It was developed and is taught by Seth Wolbert.
Learning Format
Students work through lessons made up of instructor lecture materials, adaptive homework through Knewton Alta, and proctored exams. Adaptive homework gives more frequent practice and feedback, with questions that respond to student performance.
Course Materials
This section of Math 265 uses a free Calculus textbook provided through the UND Math Department. It also requires the Knewton Alta homework system.
Delivered in a flexible online format, Calculus III allows students to complete an important mathematics requirement while building the analytical skills needed for upper-level STEM and quantitative coursework. You'll learn:
