TESU Second Degree - Mathematics

[TrailRunr]

I did the math degree at TESU as a double major with CS and I know a few others have completed the math program. My signature has details on my program.

You can do calc 1 and calc 2 from SL. There are loads of options for stats. After that, it gets dicey. It doesn't appear Boston University is going to do the edx courses on differential equations anytime soon, so that's a huge loss of 3 upper level classes. APU has math courses a little bit less than half the price of TESU when you account for the free e-textbooks from APU's book grant. Discrete math from a community college will count as LL credit.

The difficulty of math courses will increase greatly. I hope you thought stats and intermediate algebra were easy. The first jump in difficulty is from precalculus/intermediate algebra to calculus. Then the difficulty ramps up even more with Linear algebra and differential equations, which are more abstract than the earlier calculus courses. There is another huge jump in difficulty for abstract upper level courses like real analysis, but you don't necessarily need to take them because they're not required. Don't plan to finish the SL Calc courses in a week. The Control-F strategy for SL testing doesn't help.

Basically what I'm saying is that the math degree is way harder than TESU's other degrees.

Another problem is that the what-if evaluator counts courses in math that shouldn't count which is pretty much every 100-level math course. You need to have advisor go through and remove your ineligible courses like MAT 119 and MAT 129.
