The Scientific Toolbox

Yesterday, I discovered via Brian’s Education Blog that MIT has made many of its course materials available on-line free of charge; the web site states that virtually all MIT course materials should be on-line by 2007. Of course, you don’t get to interact with MIT professors, so this site will not substitute for a degree from MIT. However, these materials are a great resource for a large variety of school subjects!

Note: The MIT OCW site is meant to aid in curriculum development and other non-commercial purposes. Check out the MIT OCW site for the terms of use.
