Free CS Engineering classes from stanford

[Geel_jire]

Stanford University has launched a series of 10 free, online computer science (CS) and electrical engineering courses. The courses span an introduction to computer science and an introduction to artificial intelligence and robotics, among other topics.

 

The free courses are being offered “to students and educators around the world” under the auspices of Stanford Engineering Everywhere (SEE). Each course comprises downloadable video lectures, handouts, assignments, exams, and transcripts.

 

The courses are nearly identical to what’s offered to enrolled Stanford students, according to the University. However, those taking courses through SEE are not eligible to receive Stanford credit for them.

 

Course participants do not register, and have no direct contact with Stanford instructors or professors. They do, however, have the ability to communicate online with other SEE students. A detailed SEE FAQ is available here.

 

The University says SEE’s initial courses include “one of Stanford’s most popular engineering sequences: the three-course Introduction to Computer Science taken by the majority of Stanford undergraduates, and seven more advanced courses in artificial intelligence and electrical engineering.”

 

Specifically, SEE’s first 10 courses are…

 

* Introduction to Computer Science:

o Programming Methodology — CS106A

o Programming Abstractions — CS106B

o Programming Paradigms — CS107

* Artificial Intelligence:

o Introduction to Robotics — CS223A

o Natural Language Processing — CS224N

o Machine Learning — CS229

* Linear Systems and Optimization:

o The Fourier Transform and its Applications — EE261

o Introduction to Linear Dynamical Systems — EE263

o Convex Optimization I — EE364A

o Convex Optimization II — EE364B

 

Course videos can be viewed using YouTube, iTunes, Vyew, WMV Torrent, and MP4 Torrent. Here, for example, is lecture 1 of the Introduction to Robotics course, as a YouTube video:
