I've been going through his series on Statistics to complement some MOOCs I've been doing on Data Science / Statistics. Very helpful stuff. Likewise, I just started going through his Calc I sequence to help me brush up on that stuff. Definitely one of my favorite Youtube personalities. I find his videos tremendously useful.

I too like his teaching style. Started from the beginning. Prealgebra. Working my way up and math is fun now!

If you aren't already familiar with them, you might also want to check out the stuff by Gilbert Strang (Calculus and Linear Algebra), MathBFF (pre-calc/trig, calculus), and PatrickJMT (little bit of everything).

I agree. I've done the bare minimum math needed for comp sci (1st year calc + basic probability/stats). Barely passed. In preparation for masters in financial engineering next year I've gone back to basics, worked through his calc 1 & 2 (3 todo) videos and I'm amazed at how much I enjoy math now. Thoroughly enjoy how he teaches the content -- the enthusiasm is really infectious.

Does anyone have suggestions on exercise material? I spend some time with Wolfram generated problems every few days and am working through two textbooks, but just wondering what other people find helpful.

I started with his

on Green's theorem. He was animated and involved. Started with a nice overview. But, bad sound. Bad lighting. They were so bad I gave up.

Please, someone help him get some okay video production quality.

Im watching 1080p with earbuds and have not noticed any problems. I seems ok to me. http://i.imgur.com/rx4sjHq.png

How does it compare with Khan Academy? Content seems to overlap - what's the differentiation?
