[AmPeaceInHeart]

[Cathode0]

Begins at (13:55) Good thing Youtube gave this guy one and a half hours to work with... =P

[Cathode0]

yay, 80s music!

[guts777]

Take home math exam? Do those work?

Anyway he's not saying he's taping the lecture in India; the lecture is taped a substantial time before the actual class.

First part pissed me off.. :) But thanks to you and people at Stan for publishing these amazing lectures online....Now knowledge is not bounded...All you need to have is a broadband connection.

Big thanks...

[Yar85]

Love this

Thanks from germany

[ozymandyus1]

wow the beginning really pissed me off...

[Singularitarian]

Thank you for making these lectures available.

When the illumination problem is introduced, the camera stays on the speaker rather than showing us the slide. The slides are more important than the speaker and need more emphasis. They are also difficult to read.  The entire video should be in HD.

I want to sleep!!!

Warning, the chinese guy will irratate you throughout the whole lecture series by asking trivial questions.

[fewoifhiu3hfklew]

i have to agree with that comment.

[Lewis1711]

That chinese guy is paying for his education, and trying to learn.

He is in his full rights to do this.

I say this as the white guy that asks trivial questions in my lectures.

[charlesdarwinxxx]

yes-no coming to class.

colleges sell Admit ticket to class. seats in a lecture hall.

digital colleges can be seen by billions billions. anytime anywhere.

instead of 100-200 people, we can now have 1-3 billion people see the lecture. worldwide

[mushk45]

1-3 billion? 3 billion is about half the world population!

Maybe 3 million...

[jasonir129]

He's acknowledging to the class HERE at Stanford that this is atypical that he's filming this a quarter before the class meets officially...

[fewoifhiu3hfklew]

what i found annoying was that he spent 5mins talking about how extraordinary it is to be taping his lecture from india, whoopdidoooo

[sgnillat]

Poor girl, got her foot caught in her mouth, and he just had to rub it in.

[trickyoutrickme]

Obviously they didnt think this was such a big deal as you seem to. A sense of humor is a rare thing in academia, I wish MY professors were like that!

[sa2as]

If you did not talk about your presence, no body would have known!
