<p>So, after this year (I'm a rising sophomore), I'll be done with all of the math at my school, which pretty much goes up to calc bc and ap stats. I was wondering what kinds of courses I should take afterwards? Are there good online courses or should I try taking classes at the local community college? Should I continue with things like calculus and take linear algebra/multivariate/diff eq's? The local cc has classes up to diff eq's, considering all of their courses are trimester courses and the only three courses I would actually take would be linear algebra, calc IV and differential eq's, which i would finish in junior year. What should I take senior year?</p>
<p>If you don’t have an ability to take classes at a University your senior year, don’t worry about math. No school would ever expect more then Multi, DiffEQ, and Linear. Further, unless you plan on majoring in Math, I wouldn’t take more than those three even if you can take classes at a University. </p>
<p>What I would do to keep with the 5 subjects, I’d take CS classes instead of Math your senior year.</p>
<p>If you have the money, Stanford EPGY.</p>
<p>The thing is, I want to take math because I like math, not to look good to colleges or anything.
I’ll be taking AP CS as a junior, currently, I have no experience with programming whatsoever. Although I do know how to program a Ti 84 reasonably well :P. What cs courses would you recommend I take after ap comp sci?</p>
<p>EPGY is way too expensive. A community college course would be the more economical option, and you could take Diff EQ’s, Multivariate, etc.</p>
<p>after AP Comp Sci, see if they have logic courses, or the likeness.</p>
<p>AP CS A is ~1 semester of a programming class. (CS AB used to be ~2 semesters, but they got rid of it) A community college will probably have a 3-semester sequence, maybe 4. AP CS A should place you out of the first semester of it.</p>
<p>Note: AP CS A is extremely easy, especially for math lovers like yourself. So I would suggest you find a second math-related class or whatever to spend your spare time in while you take CS.</p>
<p>After Calc BC my school offers Multivariable Calc and Linear Algebra. VERY few people reach Multi let alone Linear.</p>
<p>In the CS department there’s Intro to java and intro to C++, but in the CS and Engineering department it goes from intro to C to stuff about debuggers and profiling
There are no logic courses but there’s a discrete math course</p>
<p>AP CS A is Java. </p>
<p>Discrete Math is a good option if you’re into that sort of thing.</p>
<p>You might look at doing some math competitions - the AMC/AIME/USAMO series would be the big one. It’s not a course (of course!) but you can spend time on it. There are some online “Math Jams” - go to Art of Problem Solving for more info.
AP CS A is easy.
Try looking for logic courses in the philosophy department.
You could try intro physics at the college level and/or AP physics which is really just math, thinly veiled.</p>
