Institution: MIT
Lecturer: Prof. David Hsu
University Course Code: MIT 11.165
Subject: #climate #polisci #politicalscience
Description: This class is about figuring out together what cities and users can do to reduce their energy use and carbon emissions. Many other classes at MIT focus on policies, technologies, and systems, often at the national or international level, but this course focuses on the scale of cities and users. It is designed for any students interested in learning how to intervene in the energy use of cities using policy, technology, economics, and urban planning.

Institution: Berkeley
Lecturer: Richard E Borcherds
University Course Code: Math 250A
Subject: #math #grouptheory
Description: This is an experimental online course on mathematical group theory, corresponding to about the first third of the Berkeley course 250A (introductory graduate algebra). The level is for first year graduate students or advanced undergraduates. The topics covered are roughly the parts of group theory that a mathematician not specializing in groups might find useful.

Institution: Harvard
Lecturer: Benedict Gross
University Course Code: Math E-222
Subject: #math #abstractalgebra
Description: Algebra is the language of modern mathematics. This course introduces students to that language through a study of groups, group actions, vector spaces, linear algebra, and the theory of fields.

I haven't watched the full list yet and I'm not an expert (that's why I'm watching a course on fundamentals), so I'm not sure how good it is.

Videos of classes 7, 9, 22, 25 and 30 are missing.

I have found the European Graduate School to be the best source of free video lectures on Philosophy I have found. They of course slant towards Continental philosophy. You get in person lectures and sometimes lecture series from the contemporary greats from Slavoj Žižek, Derrida, Baudrillard, Butler, and many others. https://youtube.com/@egsvideo?si=qqeB6s3msY6ivXsi

Based on the outcome of this discussion I would like to put together an easily fillable template that folks will use when they submit. What information do y'all think should be included in each post? In the same vein, what information should be in the title versus the post body?

Some things that immediately come to mind:

• Institution
• Lecturer
• University Course Code (e.g. BIO 101)
• Subject
• Pre-requisite Knowledge
• Permalink/Archived Resources

A little dated, unfortunately, but I love this course. I've watched it through at least four times over the years. Maybe I'm weird, but the subject matter is just fascinating to me.
