You have a 104 days old HN account, and you still don't know about any open courseware site? Names like MIT, Stanford, Berkeley get thrown around here almost daily. And if you know about them, whey not check them out. Even a routine check of these websites would yield many great videos.
A simple search of "math self learn" at searchyc gives tremendous amount of answers. Then where is the need to post this?
- sink 16y agoI think my strategy for both maths and computer science would be to look at the course pages for universities. I would pick a course that I would want to take, then visit the course homepage. Usually teachers post a syllabus and additional course resources. I would get a cheap secondhand copy of the book(s) (even if it is an edition or two behind) and try to follow the general path the teach has outlined for learning the material. It's really hard to duplicate a classroom setting and extra study sessions with TAs, but open courseware, web forums, and various other Internet-available resources go a long way!
- twfarland 16y agoThank you for the thoughtful response, it was much more helpful than wading through search results. I will do this.
- twfarland 16y agoI haven't spent that much time here and never heard of opencourseware. Looks perfect. Thank you.
