<p>Check the local community colleges for math courses transferable to four year universities.</p>

<p>Is she taking the AB or BC exam? If she does well on BC, she may be able to take the multivariable calculus, linear algebra, and/or differential equations courses (university sophomore level math for those majoring in math-based subjects including physics, chemistry, engineering, computer science, and economics). Otherwise (after AB), she would likely go to second semester freshman calculus, then continue on to multivariable calculus, linear algebra, and/or differential equations.</p>

<p>Thanks for all of your advice. While my daughter has done well in math, she has no idea what she wants to study in college. Our AP Calculus program is changing in the district, so I’m not sure if she’ll have AB or BC next year. I’ve heard that MIT has fantastic online courses, but I don’t know how they handle questions about the curriculum. The Johns Hopkins program is a great option. She dances six to seven days per week so I don’t know if community college would work with her schedule.</p>

<p>MIT has good-looking online Linear Algebra materials, with video lectures, assignments, solutions and exams. But, importantly, it’s not a class, in the sense that there is no teacher setting up timelines and assignments, and assigning grades and credit. If your daughter studied at home using that course, she’d learn a lot, but she wouldn’t get course credit and it wouldn’t appear on her school transcript.</p>

<p>Possibly she could arrange with a teacher at her school to supervise an independent study, using the MIT Linear Algebra materials.</p>
