MIT Astronomy Courses - FREE!!!

[Grant]

Just found out that MIT are giving away all of the resources and materials for all of their courses out, online for free, this includes a bundle of astronomy related stuff: http://tinyurl.com/yyxu6e including the course 'Introduction to Astronomy' : http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Physics/8-282JSpring-2006/CourseHome/

It looks really interesting and when I have some spare time I might start working my way through it all...

Cheers,

Grant

I tried it says page not found each time i try, which courses are you looking into, just so that i can try looking by typing out the course title

[Ronnie67]

Another question, can these courses be taken within your own homes, not travelling, can it be done by computer

These are great there are a fine collection of lectures from Yale and Stanford (Leonard Susskind) that covers Astrophysics and Cosmology all linked from iTunes. These include Lecture notes, problem sets and the lecture videos as well.

These links are about 5 years old so it looks like the website they are hosted on has moved them
