<p>So, I've decided (been forced) to take a gap year, so I'm a tad worried that I'll fall behind in math (especially since UChicago's math curriculum is apparently quite difficult). Does anyone know of any resources I can use to keep up with math and not fall behind during my gap year?</p>
<p>I’m taking a semester off and keeping up with Math. It’s not hard.</p>
<p>What kind of Math will you take when you get there? Let’s say Calculus. There are a million ways to learn it by yourself. You can get the book the class at UChicago uses and complete it. You can get a Dr Schaum’s 3000 Problems book and do them. You can take Calc courses online on Coursera (there’s one starting in 4 days!), Khan Academy, etc.</p>
<p>It’s the same for any kind of Math. Just get books and work through them. Watch lectures if you need more help, but focus on practicing.</p>
<p>I am taking Calc II and Discrete Mathematics next semester, so right now I am going through a Discrete Math text book. I got an older edition of the one my class uses, it was $5. I also reviewed Calc earlier this year and I am taking that Coursera course I mentioned.</p>
<p>It doesn’t matter what the subject is. It all comes down to you wanting to learn and put in the time!</p>
<p>Coursera would be the best bet.</p>
