Math degree online

Looks like ESC offers Real Analysis, and I think UWisconsin independent study does too. Chadron State might let you take courses like Abstract Algebra. I once inquired about the Chadron program and they told me that a minor was required in addition to the math major (this wasn't the case of business majors, BTW).

UIdaho has UL math courses, albeit at expensive prices. ESC also has UL applied math courses like Numerical Methods and Mathematical Modeling. LSU also has UL Probability and Statistics and ESC has Mathematical Statistics. In sum, it looks like someone who wants to attend a pure math program in grad school would be better off in a B&M setting or in the UIS program, but someone looking to go the Applied Math route could do it via DL.

 

Someone has already posted the link to the LSU courses. I just want to add that you really only need 1 and 2. Calc 3 is offered online at UIS. (But you'll probably save money if you take it elsewhere.)

 

GeeBee, did you go to the UIS Math program? I have been accepted there for the Summer 2011 session, but I'm not sure if I'm going to go. I am already in a computer science program at Regis University and I just wanted to do the UIS BA Math "for fun", but I think the workload would be too heavy. If you went, did you like the program? Were the classes really heavy in terms of workload? Proctored exams, I assume? I'm still debating...I might just delay my start date by a couple semesters.

 

Yes. But for the purposes of answering your questions, no. I have been accepted into the UIS Math program, but won't start classes until Fall 2011. I'm in the middle of Calculus 2 at my local community college. So I haven't experienced the UIS workload yet.

 

Lots of Math Credits by Examination

Ohio University's exam for credit program includes most of the normal math sequence from developmental math to differential equations. They break calculus into 4 parts. Their exams guides are excellent and very specific, and they tell you exactly which problems to study in the assigned textbook. The tests are pretty cheap compared to a class, $288 for 4 quarter hours. They use an outdated, but popular, textbook for calculus that I was able to pick up for a few dollars.
