That is pretty awesome! I also like how probably half of all the participants would come from the BTC community Smiley

There are so many classes I want to take there but I have none of the prerequisites nor the time for them... I feel like ditching high school, taking GED test, and going to a university right now.

If you do this make sure you finish your university classes.
Being really smart with a GED only is pretty f**** up. I should know.

There is more to Bitcoin than bitcoins.
I see people mentioning it is difficult, is International Baccalaureate Higher Level Mathematics enough?
So far it's High School math in week one.

Yep. Even if you can't see something right away, you can pause the video and figure it out in a few minutes. I guess the wikibook and the pdf provided have all answers you might need.

MIT also does this, for 'honourary' credit, or if you just want to self learn google the course name like 6.002 and check the calendar. All video lectures and assignments are there free.

If your math sucks just look up precalculus on youtube or khanacademy.org

Before beginning, get a good understanding of set notation. Just a heads up Smiley

Last week of part 2 will be about one of the topics chosen by "popular demand". Elliptic curve cryptography is on the list. How about ganging up to demand that?

How do we make that request?
I'm assuming in the forum.

I'm taking a stab at this. It looks like fun.

Uhm, the only way for me to do this properly is to cut down on time spent on this forum during the course.

^^Comedy.

The math is a little difficult that's for sure.
It might take a refresher for some.

So far so good, but I have had to stop the video and re-analyze a couple times.
