I wonder if anybody has built a Computer Science curriculum from the OCW lectures in a playlist or some other form, so people could (in theory) follow the same path as an actual MIT grad from beginning to end.<p>This dude did something similar but he was mostly trying to sell his productivity method and ebooks. <a href="https://www.scotthyoung.com/blog/2018/03/15/how-successful-was-mit-challenge/" rel="nofollow">https://www.scotthyoung.com/blog/2018/03/15/how-successful-w...</a><p>I am more interested in increasing my theoretical knowledge and taking deep classes in algorithms, data structures, linear algebra, vector calculus, and other foundational CS stuff.
The MIT lectures in general are very good quality and these ones in particular are a treasure trove.<p>I would have loved access to something like this when I was a student.<p>The MITOCW channel on Youtube has many more for those who are interested. A nice one is Design and Analysis of Algorithms.
Seems to me that one of the advantages that students at elite universities have is elite instruction. Every Harvard or MIT class that I've ever audited online has been insanely easy to follow.

How much math do I need to follow this? And please, avoid terms like "high school math" since I'm not from US and this means nothing to me.
