So a ran across a video while punting around Youtube. The posters name really caought my attention.
Yalecourses.
Thats right. Freakin Yale!
The original video was about black holes and I was hooked.
This is a video taping of ASTR(160) at yale.
The teachers funny and I like his sense of humour.
Also you learn a fuck load about finding exoplanets, blackholes, and other funky stuff. The math level is about grade 9-10 so isn't that hard, and the teacher hates "Android math" so the math goes fuzzy/fun at parts.
The links are hard to find (yale didn't make following the course flow easily, so I've done it for you)
