Learn to...

There are, no doubt, several people on here who shall not be named (including, cough, Morty ) who probably think that autodidacticism means trying to fathom out how their car works .

However, having had to brush up some of the finer and more obscure aspects of A Level statistics so that I can then pass this world of knowledge onto others for a small and competitive fee , I have once again discovered the joy of self-studying.

Have any of you got some sort of autodidacticism going on? If so, what about and do you use any useful sites to assist?

As an aside, if any of you have any family or friends who are studying GCSE or GCE maths, then they could do far worse than listen to the lessons on this site. His explanations are phenomenally good IMHO.

Naturally, if any of these family or friends live in the South Manchester area, then you should veer them away from the site, significantly since my private tuitions take place there and I need the cash

Ah, self-learning. Good stuff.

I have a penchant for Stanford University's online courses on Youtube - particularly the ones on physics and neuroscience that send me off on tangents of reading in the two fields.

Khan Academy is an excellent resource too.

You should consider putting this in the "Other Leisure Activites" thread.

I'm not keen on self learning courses, I tend to watch telly instead.
