<p>I think so, too. 
There are plenty of classes to take; I’m imagining it might be a little like being a kid in a candy store. His online teacher/mentor/tutor was looking at all the math profs at MIT and saying, “ooo” and “wow” and things like that-so I’m guessing it will be fun for my son at whatever level he begins with. :-)</p>
<p>Cobrat, that’s so interesting. It would not have occured to me to allow my kids to take CC classes if they weren’t prepared to do well in them. My middle son won’t be taking classes until at least age 16 because he is certainly not ready for them now at 15.</p>

<p>The “with theory” math courses at MIT would be similar to what other schools would label as “honors” courses. They are alternative choices for students with a strong interest in math and want to learn the subject matter in greater depth than in the standard course. But those who completed the standard course (or an equivalent at a different college, as your son has for several courses) could still continue on to more advanced math courses.</p>
<p>Given what you have written about your son, it is likely that he will want to choose the more in-depth versions of whatever math courses he takes, and the “more math” versions of any physics or other courses he takes (correction to post #55: the course numbers should start with 8, not 18).</p>
