Online Course

These lectures are designed to be consumed in small amounts when you have free time. Listen to them several times and support your learning with various recommended textbooks. The idea is that nobody likes sitting in a classroom for 8 hours a day. Listen to the courses over the course of several months and revisit them when you need.
