MIT Video Lectures

If you’re bored with eating left-over turkey sandwiches and are fed-up watching sentimental programmes on how wonderful it is at Christmas then something which might be a bit more interesting is the  MIT video lectures which are available online.

Currently, I am engrossed in the Introduction to Algorithms course which delves into the inner workings of sorting routines and searching routines and their mathematical analysis. For example, did you know that it is impossible to make a sorting algorithm using comparisions which can run better than n log n time?

There are many other courses with video lectures so there is something for everyone. I can also recommend the highly entertaining lectures on physics with Walter Lewin.
