Free Course from M.I.T.
« on: 13 February 2012, 15:34 »
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), one of the world's top-rated universities, has announced its first free course which can be studied and assessed completely online.

An electronics course, beginning in March, will be the first prototype of an online project, known as MITx.

One for the Geeks - Circuits and Electronics. Will look awesome on your CV. Starts March 5th.

Requirements

In order to succeed in this course, you must have taken an AP level physics course in electricity and magnetism. You must know basic calculus and linear algebra and have some background in differential equations. Since more advanced mathematics will not show up until the second half of the course, the first half of the course will include an optional remedial differential equations component for those who need it.

I don't have Physics...

Plus the textbook is $87!

Are a few people serious about this?

If so we could all work together on it, obviously not "cheating", just putting heads together to solve problems  :smiley:

I've signed up, I've got a fairly logical mind and a degree in computer science so will help out wherever possible!
