One of the education threads within the complex has been small,
intense courses broken down into small pieces that are easily browsed,
then a deep dive possible if you find something you like.
While searching for courses on the web, I stumbled onto Khan Academy:
http://www.khanacademy.org/
It is pretty fascinating. It averages around 10 minutes per lecture,
and has lots of topics. I've sampled several and they've done a
surprisingly good job.
In particular, if you know folks, or are one yourself, who say "I
can't understand Math" .. or "I can't do X" where X is any of:
Algebra 1
Algebra
Arithmetic
Pre-algebra
Geometry
Chemistry
Brain Teasers
Current Economics
Banking and Money
Venture Capital and Capital Markets
Finance
Valuation and Investing
Credit Crisis
Geithner Plan
Paulson Bailout
Biology
Trigonometry
Precalculus
Statistics
Probability
Calculus
Differential Equations
History
Linear Algebra
Physics
.. then send them to Khan!
