[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I spoke with math teacher at BASIS and was told that these are some of the courses they have offered post calculus at other BASIS schools:

AP Statistics
Differential Equations
Multi-variable calculus
Category Theory

I am not too worried about post calculus courses since one could always supplement with AOPS if one was so inclined:)

Diff Eq + Linear Algebra makes a good 1-year course, and a heavy theoretical approach to multivariate calculus is a good 1-year course.  Category theory is applied economics/politics (interesting, but not particularly heavy), and statistics is a bit of a joke if you have dreams of being a STEM major.  Now, if they'd do calculus-based prob & stats combined with AP prep, I'd be a happy camper.  :)  Theoretical multivariate calculus, probability and statistical analysis, linear algebra and diff eq, and intro to abstract math.  :drool:

Category theory as a chapter of an intro to abstract math would also be great.  But, DS has mathematicians for BOTH parents, so our expectations are a bit unrealistic.  NOBODY in town meets our expectations on math content.  Basis is hands-down the best there is until you go online.

Maybe they'll let us substitute a couple of online courses through Johns Hopkins, Northwestern, or Stanford...  Stanford OHS sets the gold standard for high school math right now.
