Oh another monthly subscription with no accredited learning.

If you want to actually learn mathematics, buy Open University book sets and work through them. MU123 -> MST124 -> MST125 -> M208 -> MST224. Diversion of M140 if you want stats. They are written by actual professionals, the course is accredited and if you like it you can turn that into an actual qualification as well. All the textbooks are in-house written over the space of over 40 years (!) and designed for self-learning.

The whole set is on github somewhere as well if I remember - search for it.

It shows this 3/4 the way down on their homepage (https://mathacademy.com/):

> Math Academy's courses are fully accredited by the Accrediting Commission for Schools, Western Association of Schools and Colleges. www.acswasc.org

It matters who as well as that.

OU are accredited by Institute of Mathematics and its Applications, Institute of Physics and Royal Statistical Society for example (I am a member of two of these).

But if you self study using the OU books, you yourself will not be accredited.

You have to give them ~£23k for that honour.

Did that a number of years back. Was worth it.

Paying that money was worth it? Why not just self-study then?

The fact that you did the whole journey with that amount of responsibilities is impressive!

Worth it in the personal sense, or career-wise? I'd love to do a maths degree, but being mid-40s with family, mortgage, career etc makes it hard to see myself doing it for real.

		I finished it when I was 47 and have a full time job, 3 kids and a care responsibility for a sick parent. Planning is the word :)

Correct but you know the material is good.
