I think by math he means the actual lessons, not the cost. Calculus is the same everywhere, but you meet different people.

- criley2 13y agoCalling it calculus is disingenuous. This is a computer science master, offered by one of the premier institutions on the subject. Not all CS masters are equal. Not all CS instruction is equal. Depending on these outcomes, the cheap masters in CS could be superior to a local, more expensive, in-person community college masters. Sure, the faculty at an Ivy League can make all the difference. So can the faculty at a top-tier school like GT. But will the faculty at Ye Old Community College make all the difference and warrant the 2-4X higher cost?
- pixie_ 13y agoTake the best course - package it for online distribution - feed the world high quality education for very low cost.

- srin 13y agoyeah, of course, sorry I just said calculus because it was the first math class that came to mind. You're right, the classes are better, saying they are the same was wrong, but the point me and the parent comment were making is just that the main benefit of paying is the environment more so than the course curriculum
