Accredited, online mathematics classes for college credit

Postby iamdaniel » Sun Jul 31, 2011 4:09 pm

The topic says it all. I'm looking not simply for online, accredited mathematics for college credit, but ones where I can work at my own pace. I am both willing and able to do the necessary coursework much more quickly than the average person, and don't want to have to sit through a normal semester. I also much prefer taking mathematics classes online. Is there anywhere I can do this?

The University of North Dakota looks promising. It's a normal, fully credited university. You can start classes any time and are given 9 months to complete each one.

Thanks for the follow-up. Have you taken any online accredited math classes since your original post? I'd be interested in hearing your experience.

My experience with those (not myself) who've take these classes is that employers don't feel that they're equal in worth to those taken in person.
Pari/GP: this is the program I probably mentioned in my post. Windows users can get it at http://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/~bill/mingw/PARI-2-6.exe

eh, the only way I can learn mathematics is in solitude. I've taken online mathematics classes at USF and Polk State College. I believe they're high quality, but I need classes where I have much more time to get the stuff time. I get behind too quickly in these other classes because I have so much other stuff to do

I feel you! I'm a full-time graduate student working full-time right now, and it can be pretty tough...

Functional Analysis (a successor to Real Analysis, itself a successor to Calculus III) and Galois Theory (successor to Abstract Algebra).
