Ive been using mathacademy for the last month and a half. so far I've been extremely satisfied. I've been progressing pretty rapidly and can feel my old university days coming back as I practice math. if anything, I'd say my base algebra skills have gotten stronger as it identified several weak areas that I never resolved when I was in a classroom.

Just try it. for what it offers, $50 is a steal. my only caveat would be to make sure you're dedicated enough to commit the time. I'm putting in around 1hr minimum a day at the moment with weekends plugging in an entire afternoon.

Agreed. 50 bucks is not expensive for what could be a valuable investment. It's on my TODO list. If it works well to teaching me mathematics, then I'll keep using it.

That said, I think it's also important to be able to learn from books, which is a useful skill in my opinion.

I can’t find information on what subjects they teach. I don’t really need to rehash basic calc and algebra but I’d be pretty interested to learn discrete math properly. I also never really grokked differential geometry, but I doubt they cover that.

Thanks Justin!

I’ll make a note to check back in November for those discrete and abstract algebra courses.
