The other weekend I discovered that MIT has an “opencourseware” site where it has posted videos of different semester long courses. Apparently MIT has been doing this for many years — I’m just late to the party in noticing it. If you like to learn new subjects, want an update on a course that you first took decades ago, or maybe have a child thinking about majoring in science or engineering, you can check out the site at this link: [Link]. It looks like other colleges have similar videos posted on YouTube; but, I think MIT has the most organized approach with its site.
In Diamond v. Diehr, Justice Rehnquist once prompted the government’s counsel with the question “Incidentially, what is an algorithm?” [Listen]. MIT has a course to answer that question should it ever arise again: [Introduction to Algorithms].
