TTC - Zero to Infinity: A History of Numbers | 6.79 GBCourse No. 1499 (24 lectures, 30 minutes/lecture) | Taught by Edward B. Burger Williams College | Ph.D., The University of Texas at Austin What is your definition of number?The question is a challenging one because defining the abstract idea of number is extremely difficult. More than 2,500 years ago, the great number enthusiast Pythagoras described number as "the first principle, a thing which is undefined, incomprehensible, and having in itself all numbers." Even today, we still struggle with the notion of what numbers mean. |

TTC - Black Holes Explained | 2.64 GbEnglish | Course No. 1841 (12 lectures, 30 minutes/lecture) Taught by Alex Filippenko | University of California, Berkeley | Ph.D., California Institute of Technology Imagine a region in space where the force of gravity is so strong that nothing—not even light—can escape. A region with physical conditions so extreme that they have not yet been reproduced in any terrestrial laboratory. A region so dense that an object as tiny as a walnut would have the same mass as our entire planet. This phenomenon—first formed in the equations of Einstein and popularized in the stories of science-fiction authors—is a black hole: one of the most exotic, mind-boggling, and profound subjects in astrophysics. |

TTC Discrete Mathematics | 4.52 GBVideo Lectures | Xvid 640x480 29.97fps | MP3 - 128Kbps | 24 lectures, 30 minutes per lecture Taught by Arthur T. Benjamin | Harvey Mudd College | Ph.D., The Johns Hopkins University Welcome to Discrete Mathematics, a subject that is off the beaten track that most of us followed in school but that has vital applications in computer science, cryptography, engineering, and problem solving of all types. Most of the mathematics taught after elementary school is aimed at preparing students for one subject—calculus, which is the mathematics of how things grow and change continuously, like waves in the water or clouds in the sky. Discrete mathematics, on the other hand, deals with quantities that can be broken into neat little pieces, like pixels on a computer screen, the letters or numbers in a password, or directions on how to drive from one place to another. |

Every time you choose something to eat, you deal with probable effects on your health. Every time you drive your car, probability gives a small but measurable chance that you will have an accident. Every time you buy a stock, play poker, or make plans based on a weather forecast, you are consigning your fate to probability. |

Change and Motion Calculus Made Clear, 2nd Edition DVD | 5 GBTaught by Michael Starbird, The University of Texas at Austin / Ph.D., University of Wisconsin at Madison | ASIN: B000W7F9HU Course No. 177 (24 lectures, 30 minutes/lecture) "Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty ... such as only the greatest art can show." —Bertrand Russell Why Understand Calculus? One of the greatest achievements of the human mind is calculus. It justly deserves a place in the pantheon of our accomplishments with Shakespeare's plays, Beethoven's symphonies, and Einstein's theory of relativity. In fact, most of the differences in the way we experience life now and the way we experienced it at the beginning of the 17th century emerged because of technical advances that rely on calculus. Calculus is a beautiful idea exposing the rational workings of the world; it is part of our intellectual heritage. Download the files immediately before they delete again the files. |

Einstein's Relativity and the Quantum Revolution: Modern Physics for Non-Scientists, 2nd Edition | 3,6 GBTaught by Richard Wolfson, Middlebury College / Ph.D., Dartmouth College | ASIN: 1565855655 | Run Time: 720.0 minutes | $254.95 Course No. 153 (24 lectures, 30 minutes/lecture) "It doesn't take an Einstein to understand modern physics," says Professor Richard Wolfson at the outset of this course on what may be the most important subject in the universe. Relativity and quantum physics touch the very basis of physical reality, altering our commonsense notions of space and time, cause and effect. Both have reputations for complexity. But the basic ideas behind relativity and quantum physics are, in fact, simple and comprehensible by anyone. As Professor Wolfson points out, the essence of relativity can be summed up in a single sentence: The laws of physics are the same for all observers in uniform motion. The same goes for quantum theory, which is based on the principle that the "stuff " of the universe—matter and energy—is not infinitely divisible but comes in discrete chunks called "quanta."

High School Level - Algebra I DVD | 5,3 GBTaught by Monica Neagoy, Independent Scholar/International Consultant / Ph.D., University of Maryland Course No. 101 (30 lectures, 30 minutes/lecture) The teaching of algebra in most of today’s classrooms is not significantly different from what it was 50 years ago. Certainly, there have been some attempts to change algebra instruction, such as the "new math" reform movement of the 1960s. But the changes that persist in today’s algebra curricula, as a result of that movement, are more superficial than substantial. On the other hand, mathematics and its applications have changed spectacularly in the past 50 years. The advent of technology, for example, in both applied and pure mathematics, has changed the way mathematicians, scientists, and social scientists do and use mathematics. It is high time for the classroom instruction of algebra to reflect some of these changes. This is why, in some exciting, interactive, hands-on algebra classes, we are beginning to see changes in what, how, and in what order mathematics is being taught.

The Teaching Company - Consciousness and its Implications [Video Training] | 2,05 GBTaught by Daniel N. Robinson | Philosophy Faculty, Oxford University | Distinguished Professor, Emeritus Georgetown University | Ph.D., City University of New York12 lectures, 30 minutes/lecture | AVI | 128 kbps | 576 x 416 | $199.95 It's as essential to human existence as water is to a fish, and yet every night we surrender it gratefully. As human beings, we recognize that we have it, but we can never be sure anyone else does. It has been the subject of debate for philosophers and scientists for millennia, but we've yet to pin down or even understand its true essence and purpose. It's consciousness, and if you think you grasp the nuances of this unique mental state, then take a moment to consider ... the zombie. Most of us are familiar with this wretched star of B-grade horror films: a once-human creature dead but not truly dead. In its state of suspended life, it performs many of the tasks we do every day. It can move, it can carry things, it finds its way around. In some movies, it even seems motivated by a purpose—the inexorable quest for living flesh. |
