This list is sorely missing some introductory mathematics courses required to build a foundation in CS (e.g Discrete Maths). If there are any course suggestions that anyone has, I'll gladly add those to the list.

ArsDigita Discrete Mathematics course (this one gives a really gentle start): http://www.aduni.org/courses/discrete/index.php?view=cw MIT Mathematics for Computer Science (harder but still not that hard): http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-comput... Steve Skienna discrete mathematics course (graduate course based on Knuth's "Concrete Mathematics", quite hard): http://www3.cs.stonybrook.edu/~algorit…

Anyone have a working linking for the videos in ArsDigita? The rm files are downloading and showing length but not playing for me

Semi-related question: Anyone know of any good courses online that are intro to molecular and cellular biology related? Thanks, my grad school grades aren't the best and I think it's my lack of bio foundation that's hurting.

also: great books on those topics have existed for decades

I mean, yes, but alas, my study habits are better with lectures and learning groups as a supplement to the written material. Any suggestions on specific books? I know just about any are good, however some are almost canonical(For example: Jackson is THE electromagnetism text, others will do, but just about everyone learns from Jackson. Is there such a thing with mol-bio?)

Discrete Math is on youtube along with a few others (maybe all?). Here is a playlist for it:

Agreed. Do you know if lectures will be posted?

Slides will be online, but I don't have plans to video record the lectures. A reasonable amount of the course material is in blog posts, and I add more posts each semester.

Sounds good, will check it out. Thanks for posting this.

Specific books:

* The Cell: A Molecular Approach, Cooper

* Molecular Biology of The Cell, Alberts

Theses are the main two books in the field of molecular biology. If you want to go more specific, let me know.
