Early Start in Computer Science?

<p>Go to MIT’s Open Course Ware. <a href=“http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Electrical-Engineering-and-Computer-Science/index.htm[/url]”>http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Electrical-Engineering-and-Computer-Science/index.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>You basically take the class online, free of charge. Many of the classes have textbooks, lectures and notes online.</p>

<p>Wow! Great tip on the MIT Open Courseware for computer science. I had, of course, previously visited the math department’s courses, but it looks like the computer science people at MIT are REALLY into sharing everything that they set for courses online.</p>

<p>And I’m paying a fortune for my son to take those classes! I told him the other day he should have just stayed home and done them through OCW. He didn’t laugh. </p>

<p>That’s what I like about MIT. I believe they really do want to share to improve and educate the world.</p>

<p>Yes, over30, there is much about MIT’s culture that is appealing to me. Should my son be admitted to MIT (I should be so lucky), he will learn a lot there from the people on campus (including the other students) that I’m sure will go beyond even the generously shared information about the courses that you kindly recommended.</p>
