i've downloaded some of Stanford's course materials before. but it is kind of handy having everything catalogued in one spot.

Thanks for sharing, Ivan!
 
That's cool--thanks.
 
Im sorry, but I don't think this thread should be lost in the General Discussion part of the forum. It belongs to the Math & Science Learning Materials part of the forum. Could someone please move this thread? Thanks in advance :)
