There's probably an easier way to do it, but if you want to get faster playback (2x is about as fast as I can comprehend this lecturer at), this line seems to do the trick:
document.getElementById("myElement").querySelector("video").playbackRate = 2Re: The Fourier Transform and its Applications

Not sure if the browser playback supports it but lots of other native programs like VLC do a pitch-compensation/"time-stretching" mode that will make the faster playback easier to live with.

#5I went through this entire lecture series and I can't recommend it enough. Osgood is one of the most engaging professors I've ever listened to. I would happily learn anything from this guy. My only disappointment was that he doesn't teach anything else!

If you're using Chrome, there's a plugin called video speed controller which will let you set the speed of any embedded video.

#7very very highly recomended. Once you can understand the basis of this concept you open your mind to a whole new area of math and things like the finite element method for PDE's and wavelet transforms follow much more naturally.

#8This is an exceptional course. In my CS undergrad days, some 7 years ago, when I wanted to make sense of Fourier Series and Transform, this course was my savior. The mathematics text book had a dry and unintuitive treatment of the topics and electrical engineering, physics and computer science books mostly relegated the topics to a few pages in an appendix.
I found this course and printed out the PDF of the lecture notes as I didn't have enough bandwidth for watching the videos. The lecture notes had a wealth of information about the idea of a Fourier Series expansion, it's connection to the Transform and the applications in diverse fields.
Prof. Osgood had great examples. In one such example he showed that the temperature of a ring must be a periodic function of time as the structure of the ring is periodic in space, and then went on to derive an equation for the temperature of the ring that was a Fourier Series.
It was from these notes that I learned a great deal about convolution too. The new website looks much better organized. I'd recommend every CS/EE student to at least watch the first few lectures once.

#9I 'took' the stanford NLP course online it was great.
Doing this one now.
Funny - I did Fourier in Comp. Eng. - but it was jammed together with so many other things, I felt overwhelmed by all of it, I did enough to do decently on the exam, but I feel a lot of it was lost on me, and I forgot much of it.
Using fourier in most computer applications is very rare!
I'm excited to have a project I need to use it for - and weirdly stocked to be watching this video.
I love it when I have a reason to learn something awesome ...

The prof noted that it's almost all EE folks, with a few others, but didn't mention Comp Sci. Can anyone comment on why there were seemingly no Comp Sci people in this class? Wouldn't this be 'core' to Comp Sci?
