Apparently the website censor did not allow my post.

I had suggested that you should visit the online videotaped lectures from a well known engineering school in Massachusetts. You will find lectures on The Calculus, along with Diffy-q's and Linear Algebra, among others.

Follow your passion, and don't allow yours...See More
