What this guy has set up for himself, through his business and on YouTube, is incredible. Whenever I had a teacher unable to educate me or in a time of need, I watched Khan Academy videos; the KA was my home for biology and physics courses. I'll second Donnie's claim that this is an undeniably helpful resource when it comes to both practical and more school-related education.

Khan Academy is amazing. It's a fantastic (and free) resource that you can get an entire high school education in and a significant part of the mathematics part of a college education in (haven't tried it for anything else). I highly recommend it, especially if anyone needs a refresher. Finance and CM stuff on there too seems spot on.

KHAN ACADEMY is Brilliant !!
I am convinced that his way of teaching math - from arithmetic to calculus - is superior to the typical US public school way in every way......
Khan Academy and other like it will make public school education and most university education obsolete !! it is that good.
Its is because of resources like his, that i have decide that when I have children I will home school.

The problem with Khan Academy is that you don't get a degree at the end.
And the problem with that is university is 95% about getting the degree and 5% learning shit.
When you go for a job - the guy interviewing you doesn't give a fuck what you know. Only that you have a piece of paper which says you jumped through the relevant hoops.
It is what it is.

Anybody seeking math or physics review can benefit from Khan Academy. I've been going through the basic math sections and plan on working through the advanced stuff and it's great. Awesome resource.

I signed up for this a long time ago but never really tried it. That needs to change.

I now have a 3rd generation iPad and all of the Khan Academy content is available through the app. What incredible timing!

I've been intermittently plugging away at the math and physics sections for review. I was put through "advanced" math courses when I was young so I never learned the real basic shit. My goal is to get 100% of the math done by my next birthday.

I'm usually a pretty quick learner and prefer reading textbooks to watching videos, since textbooks allow you to go at your own pace.
But I will say that Khan academy and other video tutorials out there are pretty good when you have reached a state of mental exhaustion. It's a lot easier to force yourself to watch a video than to power through pages and pages of dense text.
I used Khan Academy for physics while I was studying for the MCAT last year and it's definitely a good supplement.

Does this program provide a PhD in the hard sciences?! If not, I refuse to be disrespected!!
