I have a friend who cannot go to college at this time - she is neither physically nor financially able to attend at this time - but she really wants to learn, improve, and expand her horizons & knowledge.
I have already suggested to her that she read the Harvard Classics & the Newberry books for Juvinile fiction.
So, my dear readers, I/she would like your help - what could you suggest to her to read to educate herself?
Hemingway!
ReplyDeleteWell, there is always reading books. How about a different approach: there are a lot of podcasts/videos published of basic college courses. If she watched some education podcasts/youtube videos that would be a great start. Here is some calculus: http://youtu.be/ANyVpMS3HL4
ReplyDeleteAs Andrew mentioned, for math there is the Khan Academy:

You could also learn a lot with iTunes U:

Then there are open courseware sites, such as MIT:
