However, I was quite impressed with a few minutes of Khan Academy I watched the other day. I don't know what the dependency chain is for their L.A. modules but that site seems to have some good metadata and group organization tools.

#12Count me in. I already have Strang's textbook and have watched some of his lectures. However, I was quite impressed with a few minutes of Khan Academy I watched the other day. I don't know what the dependency chain is for their L.A. modules but that site seems to have some good metadata and group organization tools.

I'm in. How do we coordinate? http://convore.com perhaps?
I seriously think we could just do it on HN threads... There are feature-y-er places to do it, but this place actually works.

It's hard to beat an elegant site like this that we're already registered for, but I'm having trouble visualizing matrices in this markup.

I think old threads get locked (can't post new comments) relatively quickly on HN which would make it tough, it would involve making new posts and expecting everyone to find the new one. (Feel free to correct me on the locking thing)

#19Chapter ever two weeks plus exercises sounds simple, doable, reasonable. Let's do it that way. Once we feel like we've picked our book, let's decide on a date to start; 2 weeks from that date, one of us will just post a "STUDY HN:" post for the first chapter. We can figure out the formalities, like, what do those threads look like, once we get started. :)

#20Which textbook are we talking about? Timing isn't perfect for me, but I'm willing to at least try until everything catches up with me.
