I had not heard of Khan Academy before today. I'm impressed by the breadth of his knowledge. He's a math expert so I understand that, but being able to lecture on a high school level on all the other topics on the site is pretty amazing.
I checked out one of the videos on the Napoleonic wars. It's a subject I have interest in and have read about, but there's no way I could give a lecture on it. Khan gave a very nicely prepared lecture with plenty of details.
- elai 16y agoWould you call his college level courses (high school in some countries) high school level lectures? He doesn't really skip rigour compared to any other college math course at that level.
- jules 16y agoI'd call most of the math lectures, except the later calculus and differential equations and linear algebra lectures high school (or lower) level. For college level you'd expect a more rigorous treatment of limits and integrals for example. The videos do seem excellent as an intuitive explanation.
