I don't know whether any of you know this: the material of some MIT is actually online.
Check:
youtube.com/user/MIT
and
ocw.mit.edu
Right now, I'm at lecture 12 of 18.02: multivariable calculus.
-
weird, i'm doing that in class right now...
-
Oh wow, that's interesting :o
I'll have to check that out when I get home, thanks for the links mapar ;D
-
wow nice, that's cool we can learn some stuff when you want there
-
Yeah youtube is great. I watched the entire Linear Algebra series in the Standford lectures before I took the class and it was very cool (great for programmers, it even talks about how jpeg compression works)
-
Very cool. I knew that there were good courses online but never spent some time finding and watching. That shall be useful next year. ;)
-
That's nice. Now I know where my next few hours online (not necessarily continuous) will be.
EDIT: Oh, wait, these are 40min lectures. Let's make the next day or so
-
I've done the 2A practice exam, all correct apart from some stupid arithmetic mistakes :P, so I'm moving on to integrals.
Btw, my math teacher hates me now because I reduced her 1-page proof of the product rule of derivatives to three lines (in front of the whole class :P ). (and I'm not allowed to use my 9000x more efficient proof on the exam! the injustice!)

Lol! Nice Mapar! That's awesome. ;D It's too bad you can't use it though... :D
-
lol nice x.x
-
wow. that's an incredible optimization. surprised you can't use it, though.
well, sounds nice anyway
-
Well, the reason I can't use it is the fact that I officially don't know how multivariable calculus works, at the exam.
Screw it. I could prove all those 'tricks' as well. Meh.

I sure hope for school projects they won't restrict people to using specific code/functions x.x. I really hate the lack of freedom in some projects that involves art or creativity in school, sometimes.
