25 Best Mathematics Courses Online

The Best Mathematics Courses Online page lists 25 programmes covering a broad spectrum of mathematics topics, from foundational discrete mathematics to applied areas such as machine learning, bioengineering and economics. Courses are offered through three major providers – Coursera, edX and Udemy – and include both short, skill‑focused modules and full degree‑level offerings. When deciding which course to enrol in, consider your current skill level, the specific mathematical area you wish to develop, and whether you need a recognised certificate or a degree credit. Prices at the time of writing range from $49.00 for introductory modules on Coursera and Udemy up to $896.40 for a comprehensive statistics and mathematics programme from the London School of Economics. Some edX courses do not display a price, so you may need to check the provider’s site for the latest fee.

How these 25 courses were chosen

Every course below is a real, currently listed course from Coursera, edX, Udemy, matched to "mathematics" by our catalog and ordered by our CourseAsk score. Courses whose own title names the topic rank above those only tagged with it.

The grade on each entry scores how much the provider publishes about the course before you pay — the length and detail of the description, whether it lists learning outcomes and objectives — and whether a named university or institution stands behind it. A is fully documented and institution-backed; E is little more than a title and a price. Courses with almost nothing published are left ungraded rather than marked down, because an unknown course and a poor one are not the same thing.

There are no star ratings on this page — the course feeds we license do not include them, and we would rather leave a column out than fill it with a number we cannot stand behind. What we do have is price: these range from $19.99 to $896.40, as listed by the provider when we last updated the page.

What the prices here tell you

The 21 priced courses on this page run from $19.99 to $896.40, with the middle of the range around $59.99 — a spread of $876.41. That is a wide gap for one subject. A higher price on this page usually reflects who is behind the course rather than how much material it contains, so it is worth opening two or three at different price points and comparing their syllabus before deciding.

Who is behind these courses

These courses come from Coursera, edX and Udemy. The platforms differ in how they sell: some charge once per course, others expect a subscription, and the listed price is not always what you pay at checkout after a promotion. 16 of these are produced by a named university or institution, including DeepLearning.AI, University of California San Diego and The London School of Economics and Political Science — which usually means a fixed syllabus and a recognised certificate, rather than an individual instructor’s own course.

Courses versus exam preparation

1 of the entries here are built around a certification exam rather than teaching Mathematics from scratch. They are the right choice only if you already know the material and want to pass a specific exam; if you are starting out, pick one of the taught courses first and come back to exam preparation afterwards.

Before you enrol

Open the provider’s own page and check three things this comparison cannot tell you: when the course was last updated, what the syllabus actually covers in its later sections, and what recent learners say. Prices shown here are the provider’s listed price when we last rebuilt this page on 18 September 2026 — they change often, and a promotion can move them substantially. We earn a commission if you enrol through our links, which costs you nothing and never affects the order courses appear in.

Frequently asked questions

What mathematics topics are represented on this page?
The list includes introductory discrete mathematics, statistics for data science, applied mathematics in bioengineering, mathematics for machine learning, and a combined mathematics and economics degree. It also covers broader mathematics and statistics programmes from several universities.
How should I choose between Coursera, edX and Udemy?
Consider the format you prefer: Coursera and Udemy mainly offer short, paid modules, while edX provides both short courses and full degree‑level programmes. Check each provider’s learning style, credential options and any free audit possibilities before deciding.
Are there courses suitable for beginners?
Yes. The Coursera courses priced at $49.00 and the Udemy modules at $59.99 are designed for learners with little prior experience and introduce core concepts before moving to more advanced material.
What can I expect about cost and certification?
Prices range from $49.00 to $896.40, with some edX courses not listing a fee publicly. Most paid courses issue a certificate of completion, and the degree‑level offering on edX includes academic credit from the University of London.
