Need Mathematics upper level courses

Hi

I am a student from India and hold masters in physics here in India. I wish to go for
MS/PhD studies in mathematics. To that end, I need to take advanced level math classes like real analysis (or advanced calculus), abstract algebra , discrete mathematics , logic.

These classes should be at the undergraduate/ beginning graduate level. I want to take such classes to show to the admissions committee that I have sufficient maths background to apply to the graduate program. Looking around the net I found few schools. Emporia State University offers Master of Science in Mathematics in online format.

Masters in Mathematics Courses - Department of Mathematics, Computer Science & Economics | Emporia State University


They might agree to let me take specific classes there.

University of Idaho has engineering outreach program.

Courses - Engineering Outreach

They also list various math classes. Athabasca University in Canada offers
Discrete math class, which can be taken anytime

Mathematics 309 : Courses : Athabasca University

University of North Dakota offers Discrete mathematics too

Discrete Mathematics | Online & Distance Education, UND

Can people provide me with more information, so that I can take good decision here.

Thanks
Ratnakar

 

I've taken both undergrad and grad courses at Athabasca, the learning model is basically self directed study with a recommended study guide and tutor support by phone and internet. It served me well, but math may require more intensive teaching, depending on your preference, Athabasca may be good. Not cheap.

 

Hi bassethorn

thanks for replying. Actually I have taken difficult math classes like Introduction to Real Analysis and Complex Variables and have got 'A' there. So I am not worried about the difficulty level. Anyway Athabasca doesn't offer many upper level math classes. Discrete mathematics , which they offer should be easy for me as I am already familiar with much of the material.

 

Hi,

You might also look at the U. of Illinois online math program, called NetMath, geared toward all college and postgrad and continuing ed math levels. It is probable that they allow single courses in upper undergrad and grad level math.

I think they also may still have a math degree completion program whereby one can convert an undergard degree into a math bachelors, by diistance.

It is from their Urbana-Champaign branch.

 

scholarly, thanks for the suggestion. I also found Saylor Foundation (The Saylor Foundation). They have quite a few upper level courses in math including abstract algebra I and II. But since they are not accredited, they only give certificate. The courses are free though......
