MIT GEB Lectures

For the last few years, MIT has been putting the course materials for many (about 1,900) of its classes online for free as part of its OpenCourseWare project. Most of them are really fantastic, and the site is worth browsing through. Of particular interest to me is the series of lectures for a course devoted to Douglas Hofstadter’s Gödel, Escher, Bach. Which, if you haven’t read, you should; these lectures might help you along if you’ve found it a bit difficult.

Incidentally, the course is taught by an undergrad math major! The guy’s teaching style is a little rough, but he’s actually laudably competent.
