I have to do both under one degree because I already have a BA (in Economics). It might take me until the late 2012 (not sure about that yet), but I think it will be worth it.
Here is that Pure Math course I mentioned above: M208 - Pure mathematics - Open University Course. 1405 GBP would be around 2250 USD right now, and add any credit card fees for foreign currency plus the evaluation fees (100-150 USD), and it's still less than a similar 15 UL credits in math would cost from a US school (even factoring in taking Linear Algebra at UWyoming or LSU, which are less expensive). Divide the OU credits by 4 to get the equivalent US semester credit hours.
Unfortunately, OU courses usually aren't available to US-based students (math and science courses definitely aren't). I would only use them for UL credits since there are less expensive US options for LL.
BTW, here is the list of TUM Masters programs taught in English: TUM - International Courses.
