• Ask HN: Best basic to advanced Physics book(s)?

  There are a lot of books, and online courses. Given the breadth of topics in undergrad physics, may I suggest materials from MIT Open Courseware? https://ocw.mit.edu/ My theory is that you can get a sequence of courses, or at least the materials for them, that are consistent. I know this doesn't really answer your book request, but by perusing the online courseware, you might get an idea of which books are... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Ask HN: Free online courses for gifted maths students

  If the kid is interested in college-level courses, MIT makes many of them available for free on OpenCourseWare: https://ocw.mit.edu/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Would you forgive student loan debt if you were the President?

  Here you go. https://ocw.mit.edu/ That's from the highly acclaimed M.I.T. "MIT OpenCourseWare (MIT OCW) is an initiative of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to publish all of the educational materials from its undergraduate- and graduate-level courses online, freely and openly available to anyone, anywhere."

• So how DO you do your due dilligence?

  Apply as needed to topics you care about and use. If I was ever seriously using the information Dan presented to me, I'd have to learn more about how to interpret film. One way could be to check out MIT Open Courseware and find a media studies course, look at the readings, and find some basic texts from an introductory course that could help me understand how the information is generated. Another could be to watch... Source: 5 months ago

• Ask HN: Good sources of math exercises for ~10-17 y/o?

  I used Brilliant (https://brilliant.org/) with my kids and it was helpful, if only because they did try to explain some of the theory around the work in different ways. Considering your comment around videos and artwork, it might not be what you are after, but you can check out some of their free courses to get an idea of how they work. The biggest issue for me was that it is concept based rather than curriculum... - Source: Hacker News / 3 days ago

• on discouragement

  So, I started studying from the basics with brilliant.org about 4-5 months ago, starting right from the basics. I do it for 40-45 minutes every day, no exceptions, making it a priority just like reading books. From what I've observed so far, I enjoy it. Sometimes I do well, encountering old topics I've learned before. I dare say one of my hobbies is math study (i'm not sure how far I can go, but I ask myself how... Source: 5 months ago

• combining like bases with exponents when there's a fraction involved

  Can someone write this out in a super-explicit form to show me the rule for how to combine like bases - this is another brilliant.org question:. Source: 6 months ago

• Looking for a website to learn fundamentals

  I'm a chemical lab assistant and have worked in biochemistry/protein research for four years. I do good work, but I want to understand more background. Often, I don't get the theory behind my experiments. So, I want to build my fundamental knowledge and more. I liked brilliant.org. But there is no biochemistry. Do you know a similar website that would help me? I will also welcome more help. :). Source: 7 months ago

• Online stuff for leaving cert maths

  There's online stuff like ExamLearn but I've seen ads for websites for brilliant.org where they test you on stuff after explaining it. Is there a leaving cert equivalent for that? Source: 8 months ago
