They have lectures, class notes, videos and more. MIT Open Course Ware. Pretty cool for fellow technology geeks http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z287/XChemicalRomanticX/nerd_smiley.gif

1800 Classes in all, including graduate classes.

I thought their grading scale would be tougher:

<table class="datatable" summary="See table caption for summary." width="400" border="1" cellpadding="8" cellspacing="0"><thead><tr class="tableheader"><th id="col1" scope="col" abbr="Week Number" colspan="4">BREAKPOINTS</th> </tr> </thead> <!-- END TABLE HEADER --> <tbody> <tr class="gray-row"> <td headers="col1">
</td> <td headers="col2">+</td> <td headers="col3">
</td> <td headers="col4">-</td> </tr> <tr class="white-row"> <td headers="col1">A</td> <td headers="col2">>= 95</td> <td headers="col3">< 95 and >= 90</td> <td headers="col4">< 90 and >= 85</td> </tr> <tr class="gray-row"> <td headers="col1">B</td> <td headers="col2">< 85 and >= 81</td> <td headers="col3">< 81 and >= 77</td> <td headers="col4">< 77 and >= 73</td> </tr> <tr class="white-row"> <td headers="col1">C</td> <td headers="col2">< 73 and >= 69</td> <td headers="col3">< 69 and >= 66</td> <td headers="col4">< 66 and >= 63</td> </tr> <tr class="gray-row"> <td headers="col1">D</td> <td headers="col2">

</td> </tr> <tr class="white-row"> <td headers="col1">F</td> <td headers="col2">
</td> <td headers="col3">< 60</td> <td headers="col4">
</td> </tr> <!-- TEN ROWS --></tbody> </table> <!-- END TABLE --> <!--End of courses_inner" div--> <!-- End of main_content_course div-->

That's fantastic. I've always wished I took quantum physics when I was in school. Now I can take a few classes through MIT. Awesome.

Thats cool !

Except, I found one that is interesting and that one requires a $100 textbook.

I guess we can't have everything for free

Check out the ISBN on Amazon--I've noticed some of the classes are from a few years ago. Chances are, the book has gone down in price, especially if you buy it used.
