AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on finding distance education programs in mathematics for self-study students. The University of Minnesota offers limited options with only four classes available. Brevard Community College in Florida is recommended for its comprehensive online offerings, including Calculus up to Calc 3, Linear Algebra, and Differential Equations, with positive feedback on their staff and software. Ellis College in New York provides an online bachelor’s degree in Interdisciplinary Studies with a math/physics concentration, though its applicability for post-graduate studies is uncertain. Additionally, Metro State University in St. Paul allows for earning a full math degree through night classes, while the University of Wisconsin offers distance learning options in mathematics.

I'm currently studying mathematics on my own, since it will be another 2 years or so before I can return to school full time. I'm looking for schools that offer classes in mathematics at a distance, trying to get some actual credits taken care of in advance.

The University of Minnesota offers somestuff, but they only have four classes.

If anyone knows of a good distance education program in mathematics, please let me know.

Try Brevard Community College in Florida @ brevardcc.edu. They offer Calculus through Calc 3, Linear Algebra and Differential equations. I'm taking an online course there now and am favorably impressed by both their staff and their software.
Good luck to you
 
Ellis College in N.Y has an online bachelor degree in Interdisciplinary Studies with a math/physics concentration. They are fully accredited but I do not know if you can use it to go on to a post-grad degree. I'm trying to figure out the best path for distance learning myself.

Thread 'What are the best A-Level options for someone wanting to do Physics?'

Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...

Thread 'Hepth programs in Europe'

After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
