🎓 Open courseware

Material published by universities and openly licensed for anyone to use. It is the deepest free content on the internet and the least designed for self-teaching: no deadlines, no marking, no encouragement. We review it for the two readers it genuinely suits — the very motivated older student, and the teacher mining it for better explanations.

MIT OpenCourseWare review: the deepest free library, and the loneliest

Twenty-five years of MIT course materials — lecture notes, problem sets, exams and solutions from 2,500 courses — free, openly licensed and with no account. The content is extraordinary. The scaffolding that gets you through it does not exist.
