Schools Accelerated, rigorous courses for college credit

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around finding college-level math courses that offer credit for high school students, specifically those that are proof-based and mathematically rigorous, such as analysis, abstract algebra, or topology. The original poster expresses dissatisfaction with typical AP/IB courses and seeks alternatives that are not location-dependent, as they do not live near California. They mention online programs like EPGY from Stanford, UIUC Netmath, and JHU CTY as potential options, emphasizing the need for courses that focus on proofs rather than just advanced topics. There is a reiteration of the importance of rigor in the courses suggested, and a suggestion for self-study using rigorous textbooks if suitable courses are not available.

this may be too much to ask of you,
but if possible, please give me ideas,
have you any knowledge of anything in the us that will give one college credit for a high school student? not some trivial sh*t like ap/ib calculus, multivar calculus, or diff eqs...
something more proof based, like analysis, abstract/linear algebra, topology... something as close to math 55 as possible?

http://cty.jhu.edu/

Sorry, You did not answer my question satisfactorily.

i don't live near california, so the stanford program is infeasible.

And by rigorous i meant not [paraphrase]"usually taken when you're older"[/paraphrase], but mathematically rigorous, i.e. with emphasis on proofs.

Please check the links properly before you comment. They are all online courses. And yes, some of the courses there are mathematically rigorous.

Edit:
http://epgy.stanford.edu/courses/math/M115/
http://epgy.stanford.edu/courses/math/M106/
http://epgy.stanford.edu/courses/math/M109/

If you don't appreciate those courses, you could always get a book you'd think was rigorous enough and self study.
 
TL;DR Summary: What topics to cover to safely say I know arithmetic ? I am learning arithmetic from Indian NCERT textbook. Currently I have finished addition ,substraction of 2 digit numbers and divisions, multiplication of 1 digit numbers. I am moving pretty slowly. Can someone tell me what topics to cover first to build a framework and then go on in detail. I want to learn fast. It has taken me a year now learning arithmetic. I want to speed up. Thanks for the help in advance. (I also...
Hi community My aim is to get into research about atoms, specifically, I want to do experimental research that explores questions like: 1. Why do Gallium/Mercury have low melting points 2. Why are there so many exceptions and inconsistencies when it comes to explaining molecular structures / reaction mechanisms in inorganic and organic chemistry 3. Experimental research about fundamental Quantum Mechanics, such as the one being followed by Hiroshima university that proved that observing...
guys i am currently studying in computer science engineering [1st yr]. i was intrested in physics when i was in high school. due to some circumstances i chose computer science engineering degree. so i want to incoporate computer science engineering with physics and i came across computational physics. i am intrested studying it but i dont know where to start. can you guys reccomend me some yt channels or some free courses or some other way to learn the computational physics.
