Learning MIT Calculus in 5 Days To access the course for free, click here. Last week marked week one of my MIT Challenge, to learn their 4-year computer science curriculum in 12 months, without taking classes. As you can watch in the video above, this week was calculus. I started the class on Monday and wrote the exam on Friday afternoon. This meant I had roughly 4.5 days to watch 30+ hours of video lectures, understand all the concepts and master the math enough to pass a 3-hour comprehensive exam. Why Bother Learning Calculus? First though, why bother learning calculus at all? I happen to think calculus is cool, and that’s not only because I’m a huge geek. For learning computer science, for example, calculus allows you to run machine learning algorithms in artificial intelligence, render 3D computer graphics and create physics engines for video games. More, learning calculus in this challenge is also a statement about the benefits of theoretical versus practical knowledge. That’s the main goal of this MIT Challenge.
Python Development with PyDev and Eclipse Python Development with PyDev and Eclipse - Tutorial Copyright © 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 vogella GmbH Python, Pydev and Eclipse This article describes how to write and debug Python programs with Eclipse This article is based on Eclipse 4.3, Python 3.3.1 and PyDev version 2.7.3. Python is an interpreted programming language and claims to be a very effective programming language. The name Python is based on the TV show called Monty Python's Flying Circus. Key features of Python are: high-level data types, as for example extensible lists statement grouping is done by indentation instead of brackets variable or argument declaration is not necessary supports for object-orientated, procedural and functional programming style 1.2. Python identify blocks of code by indentation. This tutorial will first explain how to install Python and the Python plugins for Eclipse. Download Python from 2.2. The following assume that you have already Eclipse installed. 2.3. Warning
Fun Kids Online Math Games "Sheppard offers everything from early math to pre-algebra. The lessons include interactive activities to practice concepts. Students can shoot fruit, pop balloons, and even play math man (the math version of pac man!). Fractions, place value, money, and basic operations are some of the areas that are covered. Check it out at " --Shannon Jakeman , sjakeman.blogspot.com "Online math games, like the ones that you'll find for free at Sheppard Software, provide a valuable opportunity for children to learn a great deal while they're having fun. It can be very difficult for parents to find productive and worthwhile activities for children on the Internet; however fun online math games do offer a wonderful alternative. This free section of Sheppard Software was written for children. Sheppard Software offers a couple of cute games for the youngest math students. For slightly older kids, there are a number of very popular arcade-style "popup" math games.
