Scott Young introduces his challenge to learn MIT's four-year computer science curriculum in twelve months without taking classes.

Over the next 12 months I plan to learn MIT's entire 4-year curriculum for computer science, without taking any classes (or even being enrolled at MIT). You'll be able to follow all the information about the challenge from the official MIT Challenge page, where I'll be posting links to all the free material I'm using to learn, exams I've written and the MIT official solutions I'm comparing them against: scotthyoung.com/blog/mit-challenge/ If you want to get updates on how the challenge progresses, as well as the learning insights and free self-education material I'm using, subscribe to this YouTube channel. I'm also posting new content about learning, working and living better on my main channel. If you enjoyed this video, make sure you check it out and subscribe: youtube.com/user/ScottHYoungVid Here's a full list of the courses I plan on taking (although these may change slightly as I progress): 8.01: Physics I -- Classical Mechanics 18.01: Single Variable Calculus 18.02: Multi-Variable Calculus 6.01: Introduction to Electrical Engineering and Computer Science I 8.02: Physics II -- Electromagnetism 6.01: Introduction to Electrical Engineering and Computer Science II 5.111: Principles of Chemical Science 7.012: Introduction to Biology 18.03: Differential Equations 6.002: Circuits and Electronics 6.003: Signals and Systems 6.004: Computation Structures 6.042J: Mathematics for Computer Science 6.006: Introduction to Algorithms 6.005: Elements of Software Construction 6.033: Computer Systems Engineering 6.046J: Design and Analysis of Algorithms 6.013: Electromagnetics and Applications 6.041: Probabilistic Systems Analysis and Applied Probability 6.011: Introduction to Communication, Control and Signal Processing 6.450: Principles of Digital Communication 6.034: Artificial Intelligence 6.801: Machine Vision 6.837: Computer Graphics 18.06: Linear Algebra 14.01: Principles of Microeconomics 14.02: Principles of Macroeconomics 24.222: Decisions, Games and Rational Choice 24.241: Logic I 24.244: Modal Logic 14.23: Government Regulation of Industry 14.20: Industrial Organization and Competitive Strategy 14.48J: Economics of Education

Doing 4 years of MIT CompSci in 12 months

Inevitably a repost but this does require more attention. The MIT project, man attempts to do 4 year CompSci course in 1 year without any being enlisted at MIT or any university.
