After posting just a second ago in the youtube thread about some dude doing youtube videos on education, I actually went to his website
and well, I think it deserves it's own little corner really.
Not all of us are blessed with the brains of Einstein and I think for those of us that yearn to learn more, this is a good place to start. :cool:

I can't believe I ever passed any exam that contained calculus,
it's complete gibberish to me now

Given that I did Electronics this is now pretty weird, maybe I'm braindead ?

bookmarked for later

Thanks for that. I can use some of the math stuff for my GRE prep!

This is a great site.

I'm fairly educated but sinceI graduated from University I feel like I've dumbed down. I remember very little from GCSE/A-level/Uni - my skills have pretty much streamlined to the needs of the jobs I have performed. I guess my capacity for learning hasn't changed, just my exposure to learning. Am I alone in feeling like this?

An ex hedge fund manager who was teaching his cousins or neighbours calculus. He put a few videos on YouTube to help them, just as side notes really and then got some feedback from others who stumbled upon them.
It snowballed from there.
