I have math 020: beginning algebra downloaded. I completed until Algebra 2 in high school last year (took me from 10th-12th grade to pass with C).

The major I applied for a few months ago was bio-medical engineering. I'm in a transfer program. I'd like to start at U-M Ann arbor within a year.
The CLEP + iTunes U saves the hassle of financial aid and general costs, time, and personal social issues.

I'd like to minor in economics or political science, whichever is more comprehensive, and like to know computer science well enough.

The engineering program at U-M's prereqs are as follows:

Math: College Level Calculus I, II, III and Differential Equations.(Math, 115, Math 116, Math 215, and 216)
Physics: Calculus-based Physics with labs (PHY 140, PHY 141, PHY 240, PHY 241L)
Chemistry: General College Chemistry with lab (CHEM 130/125L/126L or CHEM 210/211L)
Computing: Computer Programming, C++ preferred. (ENGR 101 or EECS 183) Some departments will accept other programming languages. See a list of other accepted programming languages.
English: English Composition (ENG 125)

thank you.

Take as many as of your math courses as possible at community college.
The classes are cheaper and better at community college.

True, though will U of M let you test out of math courses?

No, but there are only 4 required maths, and the 4 phys reqs are equal to 2 at my local school.

And they'll go by easier if I study beforehand, and the knowledge benefits from other courses as well. There are different versions on iTunes of same subjects

The different versions are based on the requirements of the school the professor teaches at.

I'm afraid it all boils down to different teach learning styles and how you learn.

We can't help here without knowing your learning style.

No money for private tutoring.

Library+fieldwork is best combo for learning i have encountered. its worked for weight training, politics/power, food/nutrition.
Does not earn credits without taking classes, though
