<p>I've taken MVC and the next courses are naturally Differential equations and Linear algebra. However, my local community college wants me to retake SINGLE variable calculus, then MVC, before taking diff eqs, and LA.</p>
<p>Anyone here have any recommendations for online diff eqs and LA courses?
(I live in california if that makes any difference)</p>
<p>Bump since this already made it to the second page</p>
<p>I post too much, so I’d like to apologize for obstructing an answer</p>
<p>That’s really strange. Where did you take MVC?
Also, are you sure you can’t take a placement test to prove you’re ready for DE and LA? </p>
<p>I’m also from California, and my local community college just wants me to pass some placement tests or show a transcript of my courses.</p>
<p>Are you in Stanford’s EPGY or Johns Hopkins’s Center for Talented Youth?</p>
<p>If so, they have online programs in both differential equations and linear algebra.</p>
<p>If all else, Kahn Academy and MIT’s OCW stuff might have the course, just not for college credit.</p>
<p>Are you still a high school student?.. From what I know, some community colleges are picky when it comes to classes with prerequisites even though you’ve met them already, but hardly care once you’re an official college student. </p>
<p>Btw… You need MVC as a prereq for Diff Eqs? Interesting. If that were so, it’d take forever for an engineering student entering in Calculus I on the semester system to progress to his actual major courses.</p>
<p>^I’d assume that the OP is in high school based on the original post, but IDK</p>
<p>Also, the name of the forum is a dead give away</p>
<p>My local community college has placement tests for single variable calculus, but no higher.</p>
<p>Yes I am a high school student. My Calc BC teacher got permission from district to teach MVC since a bunch of kids weren’t graduating but finished the math cirriculum at my school.</p>
<p>Not in EPGY or JHCTY. I have done the Khan academy stuff as well as looking through the textbook that I would have used if I were going to my local community college, so really, I’m just looking for the credit/transcript.</p>
<p>Second Semester Calculus should be the prereq for Diff Eqs, but my local community college wants MVC.</p>
<p>Are there other courses that you’d like to take in high school? </p>
<p>There is a good chance that your college might want you to take Differential Equations with them, as well as another AP Class in another field might show colleges that you are well rounded</p>
<p>Some but since I am going to Senior next year, I need to keep my GPA high and for me, getting 2 A’s in math is easier than getting a B in another AP class, so preferably, I would like to continue to take math.</p>
<p>What are your price restraints, and do you live near any CSUs or UCs? CSUs and UCs let you take courses at their campuses, but they cost around 900 bucks.</p>
<p>unfortunately, I don’t live near any UC or CSUs.
Personally, I wouldn’t want to spend more than $500 for the pair and preferably less (CC would have cost <$100 for the pair)</p>
<p>I’ve looked up online courses for these, and really, ones that are that cheap do not exist. Sorry.</p>
<p>UI-Urbana Champlaign offers some courses. If I were you, I’d just get approval for a self study and design a curriculum and go with that. That’s what I did. I can’t afford doing 10 EPGY courses.</p>
<p>1) Who would I talk to about a self study?
2) What would show up on my transcript?</p>
<p>If you’re not concerned about the class showing up on your transcript, you could always go online to mit.ocw.edu
There are hundreds of free online courses that are available</p>
<p>I definitely want the class on my transcript. I’ve already done Khan Academy and reading textbooks so taking a class is really just a formality(but a formality that I want).</p>
<p>shameless bump</p>
<p>I’ve googled this, but you really can’t get much cheaper than community college. So I thought another option would be online community colleges.
You can look it up at your own leisure (don’t have time to search through all the courses from all the schools): [California</a> Virtual Campus » Students » CVC Course Catalog](<a href=“http://www.cvc.edu/students/courses/]California”>Online Course Finder – California Virtual Campus)</p>
<p>Other than that, I’m not sure you could pull this off at < around $500 per course. </p>
<p>OR, you could somehow convince the office at your community college to let you take more advanced courses by showing them all your evidence.</p>
<p>The problem is that I showed them my evidence and they said no.
Searched CVC and the ones that I saw were either not available to high school students or were on-campus.</p>
